-1.  We have enough problems dealing with alterations of inherited
rowtypes already.  As long as inheritance is restricted to tables,
we can use table locking to help prevent problems --- but there's
no provision for locking free-standing types.  And introducing
locking on types would cost way more than this seems likely to be
worth.
