 * exprtype - result type of expr

/*
 * check_generic_type_consistency()
 *		Are the actual arguments potentially compatible with a
 *		polymorphic function?
 *
 * The argument consistency rules are:
 *
 * 1) All arguments declared ANYELEMENT must have the same datatype.
 * 2) All arguments declared ANYARRAY must have the same datatype,
 *	  which must be a varlena array type.
 * 3) All arguments declared ANYRANGE must be the same range type.
 *	  Similarly, all arguments declared ANYMULTIRANGE must be the same
 *	  multirange type; and if both of these appear, the ANYRANGE type
 *	  must be the element type of the ANYMULTIRANGE type.
 * 4) If there are arguments of more than one of these polymorphic types,
 *	  the array element type and/or range subtype must be the same as each
 *	  other and the same as the ANYELEMENT type.
 * 5) ANYENUM is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used
 *	  (alone or in combination with plain ANYELEMENT), we add the extra
 *	  condition that the ANYELEMENT type must be an enum.
 * 6) ANYNONARRAY is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used,
 *	  we add the extra condition that the ANYELEMENT type must not be an array.
 *	  (This is a no-op if used in combination with ANYARRAY or ANYENUM, but
 *	  is an extra restriction if not.)
 * 7) All arguments declared ANYCOMPATIBLE must be implicitly castable
 *	  to a common supertype (chosen as per select_common_type's rules).
 *	  ANYCOMPATIBLENONARRAY works like ANYCOMPATIBLE but also requires the
 *	  common supertype to not be an array.  If there are ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY
 *	  or ANYCOMPATIBLERANGE or ANYCOMPATIBLEMULTIRANGE arguments, their element
 *	  types or subtypes are included while making the choice of common supertype.
 * 8) The resolved type of ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY arguments will be the array
 *	  type over the common supertype (which might not be the same array type
 *	  as any of the original arrays).
 * 9) All ANYCOMPATIBLERANGE arguments must be the exact same range type
 *	  (after domain flattening), since we have no preference rule that would
 *	  let us choose one over another.  Furthermore, that range's subtype
 *	  must exactly match the common supertype chosen by rule 7.
 * 10) All ANYCOMPATIBLEMULTIRANGE arguments must be the exact same multirange
 *	  type (after domain flattening), since we have no preference rule that
 *	  would let us choose one over another.  Furthermore, if ANYCOMPATIBLERANGE
 *	  also appears, that range type must be the multirange's element type;
 *	  otherwise, the multirange's range's subtype must exactly match the
 *	  common supertype chosen by rule 7.
 *
 * Domains over arrays match ANYARRAY, and are immediately flattened to their
 * base type.  (Thus, for example, we will consider it a match if one ANYARRAY
 * argument is a domain over int4[] while another one is just int4[].)	Also
 * notice that such a domain does *not* match ANYNONARRAY.  The same goes
 * for ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY and ANYCOMPATIBLENONARRAY.
 *
 * Similarly, domains over ranges match ANYRANGE or ANYCOMPATIBLERANGE,
 * and are immediately flattened to their base type.  Likewise, domains
 * over multiranges match ANYMULTIRANGE or ANYCOMPATIBLEMULTIRANGE and are
 * immediately flattened to their base type.
 *
 * Note that domains aren't currently considered to match ANYENUM,
 * even if their base type would match.
 *
 * If we have UNKNOWN input (ie, an untyped literal) for any polymorphic
 * argument, assume it is okay.
 *
 * We do not ereport here, but just return false if a rule is violated.

 *
 * If any polymorphic pseudotype is used in a function's arguments or
 * return type, we make sure the actual data types are consistent with
 * each other.  The argument consistency rules are shown above for
 * check_generic_type_consistency().
 *
 * If we have UNKNOWN input (ie, an untyped literal) for any polymorphic
 * argument, we attempt to deduce the actual type it should have.  If
 * successful, we alter that position of declared_arg_types[] so that
 * make_fn_arguments will coerce the literal to the right thing.
 *
 * If we have polymorphic arguments of the ANYCOMPATIBLE family,
 * we similarly alter declared_arg_types[] entries to show the resolved
 * common supertype, so that make_fn_arguments will coerce the actual
 * arguments to the proper type.
 *
 * Rules are applied to the function's return type (possibly altering it)
 * if it is declared as a polymorphic type and there is at least one
 * polymorphic argument type:
 *
 * 1) If return type is ANYELEMENT, and any argument is ANYELEMENT, use the
 *	  argument's actual type as the function's return type.
 * 2) If return type is ANYARRAY, and any argument is ANYARRAY, use the
 *	  argument's actual type as the function's return type.
 * 3) Similarly, if return type is ANYRANGE or ANYMULTIRANGE, and any
 *	  argument is ANYRANGE or ANYMULTIRANGE, use that argument's actual type
 *	  (or the corresponding range or multirange type) as the function's return
 *	  type.
 * 4) Otherwise, if return type is ANYELEMENT or ANYARRAY, and there is
 *	  at least one ANYELEMENT, ANYARRAY, ANYRANGE, or ANYMULTIRANGE input,
 *	  deduce the return type from those inputs, or throw error if we can't.
 * 5) Otherwise, if return type is ANYRANGE or ANYMULTIRANGE, throw error.
 *	  (We have no way to select a specific range type if the arguments don't
 *	  include ANYRANGE or ANYMULTIRANGE.)
 * 6) ANYENUM is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used
 *	  (alone or in combination with plain ANYELEMENT), we add the extra
 *	  condition that the ANYELEMENT type must be an enum.
 * 7) ANYNONARRAY is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used,
 *	  we add the extra condition that the ANYELEMENT type must not be an array.
 *	  (This is a no-op if used in combination with ANYARRAY or ANYENUM, but
 *	  is an extra restriction if not.)
 * 8) ANYCOMPATIBLE, ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY, and ANYCOMPATIBLENONARRAY are handled
 *	  by resolving the common supertype of those arguments (or their element
 *	  types, for array inputs), and then coercing all those arguments to the
 *	  common supertype, or the array type over the common supertype for
 *	  ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY.
 * 9) For ANYCOMPATIBLERANGE and ANYCOMPATIBLEMULTIRANGE, there must be at
 *	  least one non-UNKNOWN input matching those arguments, and all such
 *	  inputs must be the same range type (or its multirange type, as
 *	  appropriate), since we cannot deduce a range type from non-range types.
 *	  Furthermore, the range type's subtype is included while choosing the
 *	  common supertype for ANYCOMPATIBLE et al, and it must exactly match
 *	  that common supertype.
 *
 * Domains over arrays or ranges match ANYARRAY or ANYRANGE arguments,
 * respectively, and are immediately flattened to their base type.  (In
 * particular, if the return type is also ANYARRAY or ANYRANGE, we'll set
 * it to the base type not the domain type.)  The same is true for
 * ANYMULTIRANGE, ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY, ANYCOMPATIBLERANGE, and
 * ANYCOMPATIBLEMULTIRANGE.
 *
 * When allow_poly is false, we are not expecting any of the actual_arg_types
 * to be polymorphic, and we should not return a polymorphic result type
 * either.  When allow_poly is true, it is okay to have polymorphic "actual"
 * arg types, and we can return a matching polymorphic type as the result.
 * (This case is currently used only to check compatibility of an aggregate's
 * declaration with the underlying transfn.)
 *
 * A special case is that we could see ANYARRAY as an actual_arg_type even
 * when allow_poly is false (this is possible only because pg_statistic has
 * columns shown as anyarray in the catalogs).  We allow this to match a
 * declared ANYARRAY argument, but only if there is no other polymorphic
 * argument that we would need to match it with, and no need to determine
 * the element type to infer the result type.  Note this means that functions
 * taking ANYARRAY had better behave sanely if applied to the pg_statistic
 * columns; they can't just assume that successive inputs are of the same
 * actual element type.  There is no similar logic for ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY;
 * there isn't a need for it since there are no catalog columns of that type,
 * so we won't see it as input.  We could consider matching an actual ANYARRAY
 * input to an ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY argument, but at present that seems useless
 * as well, since there's no value in using ANYCOMPATIBLEARRAY unless there's
 * at least one other ANYCOMPATIBLE-family argument or result.
 *
 * Also, if there are no arguments declared to be of polymorphic types,
 * we'll return the rettype unmodified even if it's polymorphic.  This should
 * never occur for user-declared functions, because CREATE FUNCTION prevents
 * it.  But it does happen for some built-in functions, such as array_in().

 * We consider two types binary-coercible if there is an implicitly
 * invokable, no-function-needed pg_cast entry.  Also, a domain is always
 * binary-coercible to its base type, though *not* vice versa (in the other
 * direction, one must apply domain constraint checks before accepting the
 * value as legitimate).  We also need to special-case various polymorphic
 * types.
 *
 * This function replaces IsBinaryCompatible(), which was an inherently
 * symmetric test.  Since the pg_cast entries aren't necessarily symmetric,
 * the order of the operands is now significant.
