We previously discussed compressing the numeric data type for small values:

We didn't do this for 8.3 but in any case Tom did suggest we ought to reverse
the weight and sign/dscale so we could do this sometime without introducing
another incompatibility.
I had forgotten about that, but it does seem like a good idea to do it now.
Any objections?
For in-place upgrade purpose It would be good change also OID for
numeric type and preserve current OID for current implementation on
updated system.
