Well, pg_migrator still has these restrictions that will apply to
migrations to 8.5:
pg_migrator will not work if a user column is defined as:
o a user-defined composite data type
o a user-defined array data type
o a user-defined enum data type
You must drop any such columns and migrate them manually.
Having 'next_pg_type_oid' would fix that. The other three settings are
already handled by pg_migrator code. Having those three settings would
allow me to remove some pg_migrator code once we removed support for
migrations to 8.4.
