I still think that we could just declare the function strict, if we use the variadic-any approach. Passing a null in any position is indisputable caller error. However, if you're allergic to silently doing nothing in such a case, we could have pg_set_attribute_stats check each argument and throw an error. (Or warn and keep going; but according to the design principle I posited earlier, this'd be the sort of thing we don't need to tolerate.) regards, tom lane
