I'm trying to create what amounts to a new type. This would be rather easy if I could perform a CHECK on a composite
type,which I could do if I could create a domain on top of a composite. Is there any reason in particular that hasn't
beendone?
 

As an alternative, I tried accomplishing this with a straight domain. That would work, except for this:

WARNING:  cast will be ignored because the source data type is a domain

Why do we ignore casts from domains to other data types? I'm guessing because it's simply not what domains were meant
for?
