Interesting.  In this thread the reason for the current behavior is
given as:

Would someone explain why qualification makes us lowercase the first
parameter by default?  I don't understand it well enough to document it.
I notice this does not work:

        test=> SELECT pg_get_serial_sequence('"Test"', '"Xx"');

So do we just say because quotes might be needed to distinguish the
schame from the table name, we don't auto-quote the first parameter?
