BTW, another issue this brings up is whether we should reject

regression=# create type footyp as (f2 int);
CREATE TYPE
regression=# alter table footyp rename to foobar;
ALTER TABLE

Currently, since there's no ALTER TYPE RENAME command, this is useful
functionality and I wouldn't want to forbid it.  But if we provide
ALTER TYPE RENAME then consistency would suggest requiring people to
use that for composite types.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
