| Yeah, the design intention is that the ALTER should refuse to do it.

Hi,
in the mean time that you are working on it I believe that this is ugly too:

kalman=# create table test ( a integer );
CREATE TABLE
kalman=# alter table test add columb b test;
ALTER TABLE
kalman=#  insert into test values (1 ,(2,(3,(4,(5,(6, null))))));
INSERT 33639 1
kalman=# select * from  test;
~ a |                         b
- ---+----------------------------------------------------
~ 1 | (2,"(3,""(4,""""(5,""""""""(6,)"""""""")"""")"")")
(1 row)

The uglyness is on that series of '"'

why not the following result ?

kalman=# select * from  test;
~ a |                         b
- ---+----------------------------------------------------
~ 1 | (2,(3,(4,(5,(6,)))))
(1 row)
