Hi Vinayak,
Thanks for reporting this.
I don't think it is left out intentionally for UserDefinedType. If you
already know how the UDT is represented in internal format, you can
explicitly convert the UDT column to other SQL types, then you may get
around this problem. It is a bit hacky, anyway.
I submitted a PR to fix this, but not sure if it will get in the master
soon.
