Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-4255:
--------------------------------------
Since the SQL standard does not allow overloaded UDFs, it's not clear to me
what should happen in the corner cases. I'd like to see a specification for how
this would work - i.e. some overloaded UDFs and their use in SQL statements,
perhaps called with arguments of inexact type - before people start submitting
code changes.
When I introduced SqlOperandMetadata in CALCITE-2082 I realized how different
UDFs are to built-in functions.
And yes, it probably is a duplicate.

> Priority: Minor

> It looks like vararg does not to be supported.
> It uses the exact number of arguments to find the function.
