After several rounds of patches, it appears that it might be easier to
create a new typtype entry, which I'll tentatively call 'a' because it
seems a little fragile and a lot inelegant and hard to maintain to
have typtype='c' and typrelid=InvalidOid mean, "this is an array of
complex types." I'd like to see about making this new typtype
available for arrays of DOMAINs eventually, but that's not a
requirement right this instant.

What parts of the code would need a once-over?

Cheers,
D
