 *
 *
 * In RESTRICT mode, we perform all the deletions anyway, but ereport a message

 * do it this way to (a) report all the direct and indirect dependencies
 * while (b) not going into infinite recursion if there's a cycle.
 *
 * This is even more complex than one could wish, because it is possible for
 * the same pair of objects to be related by both NORMAL and AUTO/INTERNAL
 * dependencies.  Also, we might have a situation where we've been asked to
 * delete object A, and objects B and C both have AUTO dependencies on A,
 * but B also has a NORMAL dependency on C.  (Since any of these paths might
 * be indirect, we can't prevent these scenarios, but must cope instead.)
 * If we visit C before B then we would mistakenly decide that the B->C link
 * should prevent the restricted drop from occurring.  To handle this, we make
 * a pre-scan to find all the objects that are auto-deletable from A.  If we
 * visit C first, but B is present in the oktodelete list, then we make no
 * complaint but recurse to delete B anyway.  (Note that in general we must
 * delete B before deleting C; the drop routine for B may try to access C.)
 *
 * Note: in the case where the path to B is traversed first, we will not
 * see the NORMAL dependency when we reach C, because of the pg_depend
 * removals done in step 1.  The oktodelete list is necessary just
 * to make the behavior independent of the order in which pg_depend
