You are right, is only NUMERIC. It was this commit:

commit abd94bcac4582903765be7be959d1dbc121df0d0
Author: Robert Haas <rhaas(at)postgresql(dot)org>
Date: Thu Apr 2 14:02:55 2015 -0400

Use abbreviated keys for faster sorting of numeric datums.

Andrew Gierth, reviewed by Peter Geoghegan, with further tweaks by me.

I changed it to <type>NUMERIC</>.
