Speaking of data type removal, I was wondering if there were a better
way to handle arrays of types. From looking in the catalog, it
appears that for each type, there is also declared a similar type,
which is the array version. It seems that arrays should be considered
more flags on a field, than a field type in themselves. Does this
make sense to anybody else?
