It's very close.  I've produced the previous set like that and the only
problem I had were with operator class and family objects, and with
array types.  In both case a very simple replace can be used, like
replace int[] with _int and "for access method" with "using".

So you just add a CASE in the SELECT I proposed.  Well, I didn't do it
because I was not sure that it would still be needed with the API you're
using.

Maybe that would work too.
