v5 attached, looking at this fresh and with some comments to consider.

I ended up just combining both patches into one.

I did away with the glossary changes altogether, and the invention of the
new term. I ended up limiting "type's type" to just domain usage but did a
couple of a additional tweaks that tried to treat domains as not being
actual types even though, at least in PostgreSQL, they are (at least as far
as DROP TYPE is concerned - and since I don't have any understanding of the
SQL Standard's decision to separate out create domain and create type I'll
just stick to the implementation in front of me.
