On the one hand I propose what seems like editing a handful of lines in the bootstrap scanner (an internal interface) to solve this problem once and for all. What you are proposing is that every client interface (libpq, SPI, PL du jour, who knows) will have to know a list of the latest hacks of type conversions in the backend. And it would be very confusing to people defining user types like "varxxx". You can define user types with spaces in them (note to self: better check this), so I don't see why we should hack around it. What do you plan on doing with DOUBLE PRECISION and TIME WITH TIMEZONE?
