Here's a version that does it like that. I'm less worried about the overhead than I was before, because I realized that we already had a syscache callback for pg_type there. And it was being pretty stupid about which entries it reset, too, so this version might actually net out as less overhead (in some workloads anyway). For ease of review I just added the new TCFLAGS value out of sequence, but I'd be inclined to renumber the bits back into sequence before committing. regards, tom lane
