Our concept of type families is similar to Postgres's type categories, but the categorizations and behavior are subtly different, resulting in behavior that is inconsistent with Postgres.
From the Postgres docs on type conversion:
There is logic scattered throughout the code base that is related to type families, so this will be a major endeavor. This is a meta issue to track the high-level goal.
