Hi,

Thanks for your patch. Here are some comments.

1.
I saw a problem in the following case.

create type rewritetype as (a int);
alter type rewritetype add attribute b int cascade;

For the ALTER TYPE command, the deparse result is:
ALTER TYPE public.rewritetype ADD ATTRIBUTE b pg_catalog.int4 STORAGE plain

"STORAGE" is not supported for TYPE. Besides, "CASCADE" is missed.

I think that's because in deparse_AlterRelation(), we process ALTER TYPE ADD
ATTRIBUTE the same way as ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN. It looks we need some
modification for ALTER TYPE.

2.
in 0001 patch
+ tmp_obj2 = new_objtree_VA("CASCADE", 1,
+ "present", ObjTypeBool, subcmd->behavior);

Would it be better to use "subcmd->behavior == DROP_CASCADE" here?
