Description

Working with Cassandra 4.0 I found UDTs can be named after some built-in data type, like map, list, and tuple, but not for other types, like text or set. This behavior should be consistent across all built-in types where Cassandra shouldn't allow a UDT to be named after any built-in type.

Having UDTs named after built-in types cause confusion working with table schemas and may introduce downstream issues when Cassandra works with these types.
