Hi - can you please illustrate a short test for this. I dont work with PG
domains myself so its not immediately clear to me what this means exactly, is
it the case that this is a domain of a domain ? if so wouldnt we want "cube"
to be in the "domains" list as well ?
We have quite a few tests for reflecting types from domains in
test/dialects/test_postgresql.py so a test would need to be added there once a
solution is decided upon.
