I gave this another thought. Now we have facility to name multirange
types manually. I think we should give up with underscore naming
completely. If both replacing "range" with "mutlirange" in the
typename and appending "_multirange" to the type name failed (very
unlikely), then let user manually name the multirange. Any thoughts?
