    Make UNKNOWN into an actual pseudo-type. · d8d32d9a
    Tom Lane authored
    Previously, type "unknown" was labeled as a base type in pg_type, which
    perhaps had some sense to it because you were allowed to create tables with
    unknown-type columns.  But now that we don't allow that, it makes more
    sense to label it a pseudo-type.  This has the additional effects of
    forbidding use of "unknown" as a domain base type, cast source or target
    type, PL function argument or result type, or plpgsql local variable type;
    all of which seem like good holes to plug.
