I think this would be great as a standard tyoe. Many people wn't poke
around n the source tree looking for neat things like this, but would
gain even greater respect for Postgres if they found it in the default
system. Remember we know have a lot of people installing RedHat inux,
and being presented with Postgres as the default SQL server.

I would like to see them impressed by the functionality. Many of these
people will probably want to do table with network parmaters in them.

I recomend making it a standard type.
