I'm writing a UDT that takes a varchar argument that represents the name of a type. The caller may optionally qualify with a namespace, i.e. "pg_catalog.varchar", or "public.address". Is there a c-function somewhere that will return the pg_type that corresponds to the name (with respect to the current setting of search_path in case the name is unqualified)?
