Committed, after changing the OIDs so they don't conflict.

Here's one more case for you to ponder:

rhaas=# create table noah (i interval day);
CREATE TABLE
rhaas=# alter table noah alter column i set data type interval second(3);
DEBUG:  rewriting table "noah"
ALTER TABLE

Do we really need a rewrite in that case?  The code acts like the
interval range and precision are separate beasts, but is that really
true?
