Yeah, it does work as-is, but it's relying on undocumented details
about what the server will do with something like "oid=-1".

I reviewed your patch and pushed it.  For future reference, it's not
great to send patches via our bug report form; whitespace gets mangled
and it's quite painful to reconstruct.  Better to just send email to
pgsql-hackers with the patch in an attachment.
