I just realized that I need to check every usage of typtype to be sure
that the enums patch is sane.  So, barring objection, I intend to take
this opportunity to make the code stop referring directly to 'b', 'c'
etc whereever possible.  Any objections to these names?

#define    TYPTYPE_BASE        'b'
#define    TYPTYPE_COMPOSITE    'c'
#define    TYPTYPE_DOMAIN        'd'
#define    TYPTYPE_ENUM        'e'
#define    TYPTYPE_PSEUDO        'p'
        regards, tom lane
