I think if we really wanted to design this generally, we'd give a type function arguments. So, numeric would get (int default = 0, int default = 0). That can easily get very complicated, of course. In any case, for the shorter term, it's clear that refactoring the passing around of type + typmod would help this endeavor, so I'm going to give it a try. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
