It's not as easy as you might think to come up with a general-purpose
solution --- bearing in mind that Postgres is supposed to support an
extensible set of datatypes, and so we'd prefer not to hard-wire much
knowledge of specific datatypes into the parser.
If you look back a year or two in the pghackers archives, you'll find
previous discussions and failed solution proposals. It's still on the
TODO list, and eventually someone will come up with a usable answer.
