I think such types would be better implemented as some sort of 
structured type, possibly with constructors and methods and all the 
other stuff that SQL talks about.  We don't have all of that yet -- 
maybe we don't need all of it immediately -- but before we start 
endorsing many of these types I'd like to see some consideration given 
to this issue.
