This issue cause bugs in third-party libraries. For example: [stackoverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26298295/unneccessary-database-changeset-related-to-boolean-after-grails-2-4-3-upgrade)

The root of the evil consists in [TypeInfoCache.java#L87](https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/master/org/postgresql/jdbc2/TypeInfoCache.java#L87)

I know it was for backward compatibility, but please make it configurable at least.
