But what would be the meaning of this?:
to_ascii(bytea, integer)
it's symmetric. Nothing more.
Symmetric to what? What is the second argument supposed to be?
postgres=# \df to_ascii
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types
------------+----------+------------------+---------------------
pg_catalog | to_ascii | text | text
pg_catalog | to_ascii | text | text, integer
pg_catalog | to_ascii | text | text, name
postgres=# select to_ascii('pavel',8);
to_ascii

pavel
(1 row)
Hmm. That's not documented, and I suspect shouldn't be there. Everywhere

I think we should be consistent about it.
