DROP TYPE instruction when a plain ``table.drop()`` is called,
assuming the object is not associated directly with a
:class:`.MetaData` object.   In order to accomodate the use case of
an enumerated type shared between multiple tables, the type should

case the type will only be created at the metadata level, or if
created directly.  The rules for create/drop of
Postgresql enumerated types have been highly reworked in general.
