Bizarre, I thought I had tested that by dropping superuser and trying it. But I must not have.
In that case please modify this to a request to allow casts to be created by a superuser without having to change the ownership of the objects involved.

Really? When I try that as an ordinary user, I get
ERROR: must be owner of type boolean CONTEXT: SQL statement "ALTER TYPE bool OWNER TO current_user" PL/pgSQL function inline_code_block line 12 at SQL statement
If there is a way where that actually does work without superuser privileges, please send the details to security@postgresql.org.
