I'm working on stand-alone composite types and running into a 
reduce/reduce problem with the grammer. Any suggestions would be 
appreciated. Here's what I have:

DefineStmt:
   CREATE AGGREGATE func_name definition
   {
     . . .
   }
   | CREATE TYPE_P qualified_name AS
     '(' TableFuncElementList ')'
   {
     CompositeTypeStmt *n = makeNode(CompositeTypeStmt);
     n->typevar = $3;
     n->coldeflist = $6;
     $$ = (Node *)n;
   }

Thanks,

Joe
