> 4.0 has a minor bug in AlterTableStatement, in which we compare value compatibility of dropped type with new type instead of the other way around (and order is significant here).
> This results in more conversions identified as valid than should be allowed to.
> The fix is a trivial one-liner.
> Relatedly, we should audit all implementations of {{isValueCompatible()}} out there - at least one, {{BytesType}} - is no longer valid in 3.0+, since {{BytesType}} can no longer correctly read any complex column. And perhaps go even further, and restrict column recreation to only previously dropped type *precisely*, for which I have a couple arguments as well.
> That said, I'd like to defer those to a different ticket.
