I've been on the wrong wavelength in this whole thread --- I thought the
OP wanted to know about some existing "kind" value used by PostGIS. If
he's asking to be allocated some new "kind" values for code he intends
to write, I have no problem with giving him 200-299 ... it's not like
we seem to be in any danger of running out. But please do submit a
patch in the style of the existing pg_statistic.h comments, showing who
controls those numbers and where they will be documented.
