A sequence that can only go to 32K doesn't seem all that generally
useful ...
Are you certain that you're really saving anything? More likely than
not, the "saved" 2 bytes are going to disappear into alignment padding
of a later column or of the whole tuple. Even if it really does help
for your case, that's another reason to doubt that it's generally
useful.
