In short, I'm pretty sure shell types can only be referenced in C language
functions.  The allowed types listing for pl/pgsql doesn't mention shell
types and this error reinforces the fact that the omission is indeed a
reflection of the fact that shell types are not allowed.

Thus one needs to write a C language function if one wishes to implement a
custom range.
