Browsing the docs last night, I realized that I've never taken advantage of Postgres' powerful composite types. But a question came to mind- in what scenarios should you use a composite type in a table structure? That is, I can see the benefits of a composiite type insofar as it essentially lets you add virtual tuples to a table without having to alter the table structure to add new fields. Instead you can simply extend the composite type. But why take this approach?
