About this particular example, I mentioned earlier that I preliminarly consider the idea of changing the +(int2,int2) operator to return int4 instead of the current int2. It's not impossible that we will miss changing some operators, but my hope is that it won't be that horrible. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
