You are right, is only NUMERIC.  It was this commit:

        commit abd94bcac4582903765be7be959d1dbc121df0d0
        Author: Robert Haas <rh...@postgresql.org>
        Date:   Thu Apr 2 14:02:55 2015 -0400
        
            Use abbreviated keys for faster sorting of numeric datums.
        
            Andrew Gierth, reviewed by Peter Geoghegan, with further tweaks by 
me.

I changed it to <type>NUMERIC</>.
