Throw an error. Per previous discussion, the trigger does not get to do
anything that would affect the results of "parse analysis" of the
command, and that list is exactly those results.

Well, a list of object OIDs is of exactly zero use once the command
has been carried out. So I don't think that that represents a useful
or even very testable feature on its own, if there's no provision to
fire user code while the OIDs are still in the catalogs.
