That's excessive.  The policy Alvaro mentions applies to globally-visible
object names (i.e., database, role, and tablespace names), and it's there
to try to ensure that doing "make installcheck" against a live
installation won't clobber any non-test-created objects.  There's no point
in having such a policy within a test database --- its most likely effect
there would be to increase the risk that different test scripts step on
each others' toes.  If you feel a need for a name prefix for non-global
objects, use something based on the name of your test script.
