Indeed. I'm quite strongly against exposing / using pgtypeslib in more
places. If anything it should be phased out. Because that code is
definitely not always kept up2date, and it's a lot of work to do so. If
anything the code should be rewritten to *not* require so much
duplication, then we could talk.
