---------------------------------------
Thanks Rick and Knut for helping me understand the details here.
Wrt. to implementing signature overloading as described in 2-4.28: Looking at
the rules in
2-9.6 SR 1)-7) and from there 2-9.7 SR 1)-18); IMHO it would be good to track
this work in a separate Jira issue.

> The SQL standard (2003) chapter 11.41 <user-defined type definition> allows
> the creation of synonyms or aliases for an existing type: CREATE TYPE AS
> <predefined type>. By allowing this in Derby we would simplify migration
> from, and interoperation with, other databases.
