Wow, you can reference different column as part of the alter column.
Yeah, the USING is actually any arbitrary expression over the old table row. (Getting that to work was a tad tricky...) So you can view this as a full-table UPDATE operation that folds in possible column type changes.
Does that mean I'll want to disable triggers while I do this? Actually, if the structure's changing I presume I'll want to drop/recreate my triggers anyway (even if they get reparsed like view definitions).
