Fixed. I'm attaching an incremental patch here, the github branch is
updated too.

Fixed, and as an added bonus I fixed the CREATE SEQUENCE oddity about
that too.

Couldn't reproduce, works here, added tests.

Fixed.

Couldn't reproduce, added tests.

Same again.

Fixed in the attached (all of those where located at exactly the same
place, by the way, that's one fix).

> When dropping domains, the name of the domain includes the schema name:

I'm using format_type_be(objectId) so that int4 is integer and int8
bigint etc, but that's adding the schemaname. I didn't have time to look
for another API that wouldn't add the schemaname nor to add one myself,
will do that soon.

Cool :)

Fixed.

I though it was better this way, I changed my mind and completed the code.

Still on the TODO.

Yeah well. Will see about how much damage needs to be done in the
current APIs, running out of steam for tonight's batch.

> REINDEXing the whole database doesn't fire specific command triggers:

We don't want to because REINDEX DATABASE is managing transactions on
its own, same limitation as with AFTER VACUUM and all. Will have a look
at what it takes to document that properly.

Fixed.

Well I'm not sold on that myself (think pl/untrusted that would reach
out to the OS and do whatever is needed there). You can even set the
session_replication_role GUC to replica and only have the replica
command triggers fired.
