no, they are just simple wrappers around SA types, but allows strict
type checks to avoid mismatch with ordinary SA objects

can't be static in .c since we need full definition externally

and IMO we shouldn't define them in .h either as our "rule" is to keep
all type definitions in _types.h, since some types, xe_guc_buf_cache,
will be referenced directly by other _types.h files (guc_types.h)
