I wonder what the benefit of a typed table is and when this would be

But I'd say if you want a table with said structure you should plan on
droppign the original type after you've altered all references to it to
point to the new implicit type created with the table.
I am not planning to use it.
I am just wondering _if_ there is an advantage to this setup
Apparently at some point someone thought it would be useful, otherwise
it wouldn't have been implemented I guess.
I see it as completing the loop. A table creates a composite type, a
composite type creates a table. Not sure where that falls on the useful
scale.
