The docs for `to_regtype()` say, “this function will return NULL rather than
throwing an error if the name is not found.” And it’s true most of the time:

to_regtype | to_regtype

[null] | [null]
But not others:
david=# select to_regtype('inteval second');
ERROR: syntax error at or near "second"
LINE 1: select to_regtype('inteval second');

Probably a typo and you meant 'interval second' which works.
No, that is precisely the point. The result should be null instead of
an error.
