I've reviewed enforce_generic_type_consistency() more carefully. It
looks for me that this function requires more significant rework. For
instance, these two functions throw errors, but it seems that both of
them should work.
create function multirange_func(r anycompatiblerange)
returns anycompatiblemultirange as 'select multirange($1);' language sql;
create function range_func(r anycompatiblemultirange)
returns anycompatiblerange as 'select multirange($1);' language sql;
# select multirange_func(int4range(1,10));
ERROR: could not identify anycompatiblemultirange type
# select range_func(int4multirange(int4range(1,10)));
ERROR: could not determine polymorphic type anycompatiblerange
because input has type unknown
So, I'm still investigating this.
