It might be reasonable to test a couple of them for that purpose.
If your agenda is "test every function in the system that comes or
might come in a bpchar variant", I think that's pointless.

Or a varchar variant, or where such a variant might be added in the future. To my mind, it's important to have good coverage in my unit tests to ensure that things continue to work exactly the same over time.

So, since the tests are already written, and are unlikely to add more than a few milliseconds to test runtime, can you at least agree that such tests are harmless?

Updated patch later today.

Thanks,

David
