Hello, sorry for the absence. I changed the regnamespace's
behavior as the same as the other reg* types. And I attached a
patch as separate one that fixes regroleout to do the same as the
other reg* types, because I have

0001-Add-regrole_v6.patch : fix regnamespace to behave as the
    same as the other reg* types.

0001-Make-regnamespace-behave-as-the-same-as-other-reg-ty.patch:
  Diff from v5 to v6, only for convinience.

0001-Fix-regroleout-s-behavior-following-other-out-functi.patch:
  Fixes regroleout so as to behave as the same as other reg*
  types, but might be a bit too large.

Yeah, that's my thinko. regnamespace in the attached patch
behaves as the same to other reg* types. On the way fixing it, I
found a bug that regnamespaceout returns NULL for removed shema
name. I fixed it, too.

Addition to that, regroleout raises exception for invalid role
oids. This is unwanted behavior but GetUserNameFromId is needed
to have one extra parameter 'noerr' to fix this. This fix is
attached as another patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Make regnamespace behave as the same as other reg* types.

regrole has the reason should not to be used as default vaues, but
regnamespace is not so. Fix regnamespace to behave as the same as the
other reg* types. Addition to that, fixed regnamespace to return the
given value numerically if nonexistent.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix regroleout's behavior following other out functions for
 reg* types.

regroleout raises signal for nonexistent role oids, but this is
different behavior from other reg* types. Fixed the behavior as the
same as the other reg* types.
