It doesn't look like alter domain currenly has type changing support, so I
don't think you can do this (in general) right now.  Some conversions
might be possible with direct alterations to system tables, but that's a
bit dangerous.  I don't know if anyone's working on this right now either,
but it sounds reasonable (now that we have table column type changing).
