We could rename pg_attribute as pg_userattribute, and remove all the

I don't really think this is necessary. How many client programs have
you seen that don't explicitly exclude attnum<0 anyway? The places that
will need work are inside the backend, and a view won't help them.
None, there probably isn't any client programs like that. It would be
nice for programs to be able to discover what system attributes there
is, though.
