Nope, I was wrong- this looks to be a documentation bug, actually.  The
documentation should be:

ALTER TYPE name RENAME ATTRIBUTE attribute_name TO new_attribute_name [ CAS=
CADE | RESTRICT ]
ALTER TYPE name RENAME TO new_name

Which makes more sense (to me at least) anyway.  Do you have a need for
this version:

ALTER TYPE name RENAME TO new_name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

or were you just playing with things..?

    Thanks,
