Your point about the syntax is good though.  It would be better if
the syntax were like

        create function foo (a text, variadic b int[])

or maybe even better

        create function foo (a text, variadic b int)

since (a) this makes it much more obvious to the reader what the
function might match, and (b) it leaves the door open for marking
multiple parameters as variadic, if we can figure out what that means.

                        

Yes. I understand from the family Java expert that (surface syntax issues aside) the second is similar to the way Java does this, in fact, so there's some precedent. That would mean that your first would actually mean each variadic arg has to be an array of ints, which we might well want to provide for.

So with that modification I'll be lots happier with the feature.

cheers
