The immediate reason for this is to provide a simple solution for add-on modules that want to define types represented as int8, float4, or float8: as of 8.4 the appropriate PASSEDBYVALUE setting is platform-specific and so it's hard for a SQL script to know what to do. This patch fixes the contrib/isn breakage reported by Rushabh Lathia.
