Re: pg_proc and pg_type

I have join pg_type and pg_proc and get view arguments and return value
(btw for getProcedureColumns in JDBC)
This is not enough.I have join all rows from pg_type, which have any from
pg_proc.oidvector (I must know length from oidvector array)
That is fine operator which is true if oid in any oid from oidvector, else
false and that be simple pg_proc.oidvector=pg_proc.oid
I don't know how any function or operator add in core postgresql (procedure
for this), but I need this operator and function for size,scale and precision
for any type (special for varchar,char,numeric etc. - this is like
format_type function, but special function for size, scale and precision).
