I would have to use some pg_proc magic to make "any" appear there, since the plan was to not make it visible at the sql level, no ? If you do, you would also have to throw the notice for "any". Again, I think leaving "any" be "opaque" and throwing the warning NOTICE would be better. I do not think there is enough time to really see through the implications of restricting opaque already in 7.3, (at least for me :-) > We could talk about adding more pseudotypes that are geared to > requirements not existing in the standard set of functions ... > but I'm going to concentrate on those first. Yes, certainly a lot of work.
