Don't say "parse names for things other than tables". Only a minority of the types of objects used in the database have names that meet this specification.
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.
