    I think this would be great as a standard tyoe. Many people wn't poke
    around n the source tree looking for neat things like this, but would
    gain even greater respect for Postgres if they found it in the default
    system. Remember we know have a lot of people installing RedHat inux,
    and being presented with Postgres as the default SQL server.

    I would like to see them impressed by the functionality. Many of these
    people will probably want to do table with network parmaters in them.

    I recomend making it a standard type.
