There is clear benefit from forcing them to be the same. In logical data terms, they *should* be the same. I don't check fruit.apple_grade against fruit_type.orange_grade. When would I want to make a check of that nature? If there is a reason, thats great, lets keep status quo then.
I respect the effort and thought that has already gone into the implementation; I seek only to offer a very minor improvement based upon recent list issues.
The main problem would be people getting errors when upgrading their databases, or restoring from a backup, say.
