If we're going to document these aliases, what of float4, float8, and bool?
Also, although the docs mention int2/int4/int8, it's more or less left
to the reader's imagination to deduce what they are.

Perhaps it'd be better to provide a small table of recognized type
aliases, rather than inserting equivalent notes into three or four places.
