I found that the OBJECT_ATTRIBUTE symbol is useless. I can just remove
it and replace it with OBJECT_COLUMN, and everything continues to work;
no test fails that I can find.
I thought we had a prohibition against ALTER TABLE when used on
composites, but it's not as severe as I thought. The following commands
fail in master:
ALTER TABLE comptype RENAME TO comptype2; -- HINT: Use ALTER TYPE
ALTER TABLE comptype SET SCHEMA sch; -- HINT: Use ALTER TYPE
However, the following command works in master:
ALTER TABLE comptype RENAME COLUMN a TO b;
and has the same effect as this:
ALTER TYPE comptype RENAME ATTRIBUTE a TO b;
The RENAME ATTTRIBUTE case in RenameStmt is the only thing currently
using OBJECT_ATTRIBUTE; therefore, since in precisely that case we do
not prohibit using ALTER TABLE, we can just remove OBJECT_ATTRIBUTE
completely. That leads to the attached patch, which changes no test
result at all.
This symbol was added in

Add ALTER TYPE ... ADD/DROP/ALTER/RENAME ATTRIBUTE
Like with tables, this also requires allowing the existence of
composite types with zero attributes.
