Description

It is sometimes useful to connect to foreign data sources in a data warehouse. For example, pulling in data from a remote source. The Postgres foreign data wrapper allows such connections to be made. However, the foreign data wrapper would be invisible to `dbt` and so might not be included in standard tests and lineage graphs.

Please consider adding support for foreign data wrapper sources and schemas in order to include them in a comprehensive data warehouse design.
