Обсуждение: FAQ doesn't mention ALTER COLUMN TYPE

Question 4.4 in the FAQ, "How do you remove a column from a table,
or change its data type?" doesn't mention 8.0's ability to alter a
column's type with ALTER TABLE tab ALTER COLUMN col TYPE new_type.
Since 8.0 is coming up the FAQ should probably mention this.
