> Currently, user types are declared at the top level. I wonder however if we
> might not want to make them scoped to a given keyspace. It was not done in
> the initial patch for simplicity and because I was not sure of the advantages
> of doing so. However, if we ever want to use user types in system tables,
> having them scoped by keyspace means we won't have to care about the new type
> conflicting with another existing type.
> Besides, having user types be part of a keyspace would allow for slightly
> more fine grained permissions on them.
