Depending on which page of the doco you read, unsigned integers are
available as uint[24] or u_int[24].  After trying all incantations and
getting nothing but errors, I browsed through the pg_types catalog and
found nothing that looks like a u_int.

I find this strange seeing as the doco states they are a required type. 
Is the doco out of date here (I can't believe that u_ints aren't
supported) or am I missing the required magic?
