The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/functions-range.html Description: The doc says: * unnest ( anymultirange ) → setof anyrange * Expands a multirange into a set of ranges. The ranges are read out in storage order (ascending). What is storage order ? At first I thought that it was the order in which the different ranges are inserted in the internal data structure. However, the following sort of shows that it is not: ``` postgres=# select unnest('{[1,4), [8,10)}'::int4multirange + '{[-5,-3)}' - '{[2,3)}') ; unnest --------- [-5,-3) [1,2) [3,4) [8,10) (4 lignes) ``` Whatever I try, it always return in range order instead of "storage order". Some context: I ask because we have some seemingly random (and impossible to repro in tests up to now) errors in our code. The code assumes that this returns things in range order and as the doc is unclear to me on this point, I cannot exclude this to be our culprit. Thank you
