While reviewing Daniel's pg_dump patch [0], I was initially confused
because the return value of getTypes() isn't saved anywhere.  Once I found
commit 92316a4, I realized that data was actually stored in a separate hash
table.  In fact, many of the functions in this area don't actually need to
return anything, so we can trim some code and hopefully reduce confusion a
bit.  Patch attached.
