Yeah, that does seem like a copy-and-pasteo; there should only be 5
columns in the view according to the SQL standard and our code.

Another problem in the same area is that the column types of
foreign_table_schema and foreign_table_name seem to be "name":

# \d *.foreign_table_options
            View "information_schema.foreign_table_options"
        Column         |               Type                | Modifiers 
-----------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------
 foreign_table_catalog | information_schema.sql_identifier | 
 foreign_table_schema  | name                              | 
 foreign_table_name    | name                              | 
 option_name           | information_schema.sql_identifier | 
 option_value          | information_schema.character_data | 

The documentation claims these should be sql_identifier, and that's
what I'd expect in a SQL-standard view ...
