Yeah. It looks to me like CUBE will have to be a type_function_name
keyword (but hopefully not fully reserved), which will mean that we
can't have a contrib module defining a type by that name. Ergo, rename.

As long as we can avoid making it fully reserved, tables/columns named
"cube" will still work, so the damage should be limited.
