Subject: [PATCH v4 02/12] Change section heading to better describe reference of existing types
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 15:52:21 -0500

The section heading of "Copying Types" does not reflect what the
section is about.  It is not about making copies of data types but
about using the data type of existing columns (or rows) in new type
declarations without having to know what the existing type is.

"Re-Using the Type of Columns and Variables" seems adequate.  Getting
something in there about declartions seems too wordy.  I thought
perhaps "Referencing" instead of "Re-Using", but "referencing" isn't
perfect and "re-using" is generic enough, shorter, and simpler to read.
