Probably not.  I can think of reasons why we might not want to let you
INHERIT from a composite type, but LIKE is just a one-time copy-the-
row-descriptor thing, so it doesn't seem like there should be a problem.

Most likely this is happening because LIKE and INHERITS share a lot of
code.  Anyone feel like looking into it?  (I'm not gonna, have too much
else to do...)
