Really? My impression is that almost everything that's not a shared object allows for a schema...

I see one important reason and one minor reason:

Important - cast to regclass is possible only for existing objects -
parse_ident doesn't check validity of parsed ident.
minor - cast to regclass depends on search_path - but parse_ident not -
with this function I am able to detect if ident depends (or not) on
search_path.

I've been forced to write this several times. I'd really like to expose this functionality.
