Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with PostgreSQL's CREATE TYPE behavior and how Metabase currently exposes database types to GUI questions and filters. Define the supported custom-type cases and verify that they can be used in both questions and filters; the issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry points must first be located.
