Really?
regression=# create domain i32 as int;
CREATE DOMAIN
regression=# create function myproc(id i32) returns i32
language sql as 'select $1';
CREATE FUNCTION
regression=# select myproc(cast(5 as integer));
myproc
--------
5
(1 row)
I think the primary reason we don't allow domains over int for identity
columns is that it's not clear how domain constraints ought to interact
with the identity-value-generating behavior.
