A first step might be to designate somebody as each DBD's
maintainer and if the DBD is much more frequently updated
than main DBI, then it could still be separated out.

According to pg_type's definition at 

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=catalog-pg-type.html

PostgreSQL-Arrays have a non-zero typelem field containing the type of the

that are arrays and the types without _ are non-array types.
