Research direction
Start at the addColumn() implementation and trace how its type argument is validated, then inspect the PostgreSQL extension path. Add the proposed addSpecificColumnType(string $type) entry point so extensions can provide specific type sets, and verify that PostgreSQL-specific types are accepted without changing existing behavior.
