+1 for all except i/o functions. The cstring check for that was always
flat-out wrong, and getting it right is far more expensive than it's
worth --- AFAICS you'd have to grovel through all entries in pg_type.

But aggregates are only relevant if we decide to start showing
aggregates in \df --- is there consensus for that?
