Oh, good catch, this is subtle. I'll change it to InvalidOid. As long as
range types are not collatable, that'll do the right thing. If range
types were collatable, I'm not sure what the right thing would be. It
depends on what exactly the collation of a range type would mean.
So, pushed with InvalidOid. Thanks for the review!
