Description
* **asyncpg version**: 0.17.0
* **PostgreSQL version**: 10.5
* **Do you use a PostgreSQL SaaS? If so, which? Can you reproduce
the issue with a local PostgreSQL install?**:
* **Python version**: 3.7.0
* **Platform**: Linux
* **Do you use pgbouncer?**: No
* **Did you install asyncpg with pip?**: pipenv
* **If you built asyncpg locally, which version of Cython did you use?**:
* **Can the issue be reproduced under both asyncio and
[uvloop](https://github.com/magicstack/uvloop)?**: asyncio definitely, untested with uvloop
Whenever I am trying to call a plpgsql stored procedure which returns a custom defined enum, I receive the following error:
`RuntimeError: no decoder for composite type element in position 2 of type OID 88492`
Type with OID 88492 in my database (from pg_catalog.pg_type) is listed as `ssg.logintype` which is defined as below:
```
CREATE TYPE SSG.LOGINTYPE AS ENUM (
'phone',
'email'
);
```

Research direction
Start with the decoding path shown in protocol/codecs/record.pyx and the surrounding prepared-statement and codec files named in the traceback. Reproduce the stored procedure result using PostgreSQL 10.5, a custom enum, and a composite value, then trace why the enum element lacks a decoder. Done means the result decodes without the reported RuntimeError and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
