It is not guaranteed today, let alone in the future, that the array type
for x will be _x for any x.
Consider:
andrew=# create type _foo as (x int); create type foo as (y
text);select typname from pg_type where oid = (select typarray from
pg_type where typname = 'foo');
CREATE TYPE
CREATE TYPE
typname
---------
___foo
(1 row)
