There are 16 callers spread in objectaddress.c and regproc.c, this would generate some diffs. If there are extra opinions later on, we could always revisit that. The new API is modular enough anyway. > What interested me more was whether we could get rid of the > FORMAT_TYPE_TYPEMOD_GIVEN flag, but ended up deciding not to pursue that > as a phenomenal waste of time.

I thought as well about trying to remove FORMAT_TYPE_TYPEMOD_GIVEN but avoided to do so, so as not to break things the way they should be for a long time as this code is as it is now for at least as long as I am working on Postgres. I didn't check the git history to see the logic behind the code though, which I really should have done. So thanks for the references. -- Michael
