We currently have types that aren't typbyval despite fitting those criteria:

postgres[1606972][1]=# SELECT oid::regtype, typlen FROM pg_type WHERE typlen > 
0 and typlen <= 8 and not typbyval;
┌──────────┬────────┐
│   oid    │ typlen │
├──────────┼────────┤
│ tid      │      6 │
│ macaddr  │      6 │
│ macaddr8 │      8 │
└──────────┴────────┘
(3 rows)


Greetings,

Andres Freund
