You should see only test_table[], not test_table which doesn't seem correct.

I *think* the original intent was to not show table types at all,
which probably got broken when array types were re-jigged for 8.3 -
however, I don't see why we wouldn't want to see them as they are
perfectly valid to use.

There is a good reason not to show them by default - that list is long enough already, and weird enough for new users. Adding every single table you have makes it even more complex. So perhaps adding it, but not by default, enabled by a checkbox?
