Would it be reasonable to set this up so you can only create a shell
type within an explicit transaction and that you are required to define
the type completely before commit.
I don't see any very easy way to enforce that, and it would break
existing datatype-definition scripts if we did.
What do you think of my earlier suggestion. Skip all the 'create function' statements and
just add the "AS 'filename' LANGUAGE C" to the CREATE TYPE. It could be implemented while
maintaining backward compatibility I think?
