Yeah, getting rid of a dozen pseudotype I/O functions is hardly going
to reduce the PITA factor of editing pg_proc.h.  It's interesting to
think about moving all those DATA() macros into some more-maintainable
format --- I'm not sure what it should be exactly, but I think something
that can insert plausible defaults for omitted columns would be a big help
for pg_proc and maybe some of the other catalogs too.
