Type modifiers for DOMAIN

Hi,

I'm trying to use DOMAIN as just synonym types for database migration.
For example,   =# CREATE DOMAIN varchar2 AS pg_catalog.varchar;   =# CREATE DOMAIN number AS pg_catalog.numeric;

Domains were created successfully, but I cannot use type modifiers for them.   =# CREATE TABLE tbl (v varchar2(10));
ERROR: type modifier is not allowed for type "varchar2"
 

What reason do we have not to inherit typmodin/typmodout from the base type?
I found a comment in DefineDomain(),   /* Domains never accept typmods, so no typmodin/typmodout needed */
but can we relax the restriction? This feature would be useful for migration
from other DBMSes that have non-standard data types.

Regards,
