Yes, indeed. I agree.

As a conclusion:
- additional field are needed to pg_type for *_fetch and *_assign functions to 
solve dependency problem
- ALTER TYPE requires a modification to add or drop subscripting from existing 
type (I am not sure that it should be done by this patch, maybe better to do it 
by a separate patch)
