Got around to looking at this. Attached is a revised version that I think
is in committable shape. The main non-cosmetic change is that the test
for "type was created in same transaction as new value" now consists of
comparing the xmins of the pg_type and pg_enum rows, without consulting
GetCurrentTransactionId(). I did not like the original coding because
it would pointlessly disallow references to enum values that were created
in a parent transaction of the current subxact. This way is still leaving
some subxact use-cases on the table, as noted in the code comments, but
it's more flexible than before.
Barring objections I'll push this soon.
regards, tom lane
