The reason the first transform modules were separate extensions is that 
they interfaced between one extension (plpython, plperl) and another 
extension (ltree, hstore), so it wasn't clear where to put them without 
creating an additional dependency for one of them.

If the transform deals with a built-in type, then they should just be 
added to the respective pl extension directly.
