returning "ASCII code of the first character of the argument"

Table 9-6. "Other String Functions").
Presumably this should read "ASCII code of the first byte of the
argument",
which is what is returned when the argument is a multi-byte character
(although then with UTF-8 at least that might not necessarily be an

more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in

creation of a shell type. This allows a less hacky way of dealing with
the mutual dependency between a datatype and its I/O functions: make a
shell type, then make the functions, then define the datatype fully.
We should fix pg_dump to handle things this way, but this commit just deals
with the backend.

- "Add ON COMMIT capability to CREATE TABLE AS ... SELECT" is done
- "Allow PREPARE to automatically determine parameter types" is done
- "Clean up compiler warnings (especially with gcc version 4)" is done:
AFAIK there are no remaining gcc4 compiler warnings to be fixed.
- Creating rules to do view updates is *not* an easy TODO item
