I recall some discussion last year about making serial et al. into
domains over int4 and int8, rather than their current utter-hack
implementation. Can't recall if we found a problem with the idea,
or no one got around to doing it, or it just didn't seem to clean
things up enough to be worth the trouble. (AFAICS you'd still need
special-case code to set up the appropriate default expression for
each column; the domain constraint mechanism wouldn't handle that
for you.)
Seems worth looking at, though.
