Any opinions on where pg_typeof() should be defined?  This function is
a little unusual and doesn't seem to slot nicely into any one of the
existing categories.

A few candidates:
* regproc.c - it contains functions for working with regtype.* ruleutils.c - it contains a lot of other system
information
functions, like pg_get_expr(), pg_get_userbyid(), et al.* format_type.c - functions for presenting type information to
theuser.* misc.c
 

Personally I'd be inclined to go with misc.c (if it's not clear where
it belongs, that probably makes it miscellany), but it's a weak
preference only.

Cheers,
BJ
