that apply the necessary domain constraint checks immediately. This fixes
cases where domain constraints went unchecked for statement parameters,
PL function local variables and results, etc. We can also eliminate existing
special cases for domains in places that had gotten it right, eg COPY.
Also, allow domains over domains (base of a domain is another domain type).
This almost worked before, but was disallowed because the original patch
hadn't gotten it quite right.

Yes, it should. (attached)
[ Backpatched to 7.3.X too.]

including:
- replacing all the appropriate usages of <citetitle>PostgreSQL
...</citetitle> with &cite-user;, &cite-admin;, and so on
- fix an omission in the EXECUTE documentation
- add some more text to the EXPLAIN documentation
- improve the PL/PgSQL RETURN NEXT documentation (more work to do here)
- minor markup fixes

make VALUE a non-reserved word again, use less invasive method of passing
ConstraintTestValue into transformExpr, fix problems with nested constraint
testing, do correct thing with NULL result from a constraint expression,
remove memory leak. Domain checks still need much more work if we are going
to allow ALTER DOMAIN, however.
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs
- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]
Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];
Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.
Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().
Some documentation differences from earlier.
If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.
CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().
