Although no currently possible, this could I believe be overcome
with changes to the backup mechanism (and metadata extraction).
Domains could be created without check constraints with the check
constraints being added later, after the tables have been created.

This is I believe similar to the approach done with foreign keys,
which I think are added after the tables have been restored.

There are cases where foreign keys can't be applied, such as to a
view, where this approach may be valid.

If you believe Darwin, the egg came first (it was laid by something
not quite a chicken!)
