Could we add explicit casts (like polcmd::text) here? Or would it break

I assumed it'd break too much to consider doing that. But I suppose
that since a typcategory change would be initdb-forcing anyway, maybe
it's not out of the question. I'll investigate and see exactly how
many places would need an explicit cast.
Um, I definitely gave up too easily there. The one usage in \dp
seems to be the*only* thing that breaks in describe.c, and pg_dump
doesn't need any changes so far as check-world reveals. So let's
just move "char" to another category, as attached.
Looks good to me.
