Intentionally so, because there's not a whole lot you can *do* with an

question is about what semantics you're expecting for these
unconstrained parameters.

For my purposes, I guess implicit casting for comparing values, as in

    arg_a IS DISTINCT FROM arg_b

and

    arg_a = arg_b

or

    arg_a <> arg_b

It'd work if there was a way to cast one to the type of the other, such as comparing a TEXT to a VARCHAR. But maybe that'd be too magical…

Best,
