Not using SQL Standard syntax it won't.

I'd be happier if it worked with DOMAINs and happier still if we can get
it to optimise just bare datatypes. My objective is to tune a database
without needing to reload any of the tables and to ensure that RI is
effective in both directions (from referencing and referenced tables).

Perhaps there's a way to make that happen...
