No kidding.
Just FYI that wouldn't have worked for the enums patch, though, because
of the pseudo anyenum type. That stuff really did need to be in the
backend. For more common user defined types like uuid that are being
discussed, it might work well. Heck, a bunch of the existing casts etc
could probably be changed to SQL, and would become a great deal more
readable in the process. Not that I'm advocating fixing a non-broken
thing... :)
