For my 2c, it'd be very handy if IMPORT had an option or similar to also
copy over all (in the schema) or at least any depended-upon UDTs. It'd
really be nice if we had an ability to check the remote UDT vs. the
local one at some point also, since otherwise you're going to get bitten
at run-time when querying the foreign table.
