Well, in my mind what the VARIADIC keyword does is it prevents the parser
from building an ARRAY[] expression around the remaining parameters.
Which would be incorrect for a VARIADIC ANY function because such a
function presumably doesn't want to force all the actual arguments
to be the same type --- if it did, it could use VARIADIC ANYARRAY.

VARIADIC ANY basically exists to allow an ANY-argument function to
accept any number of ANY parameters.  As such, PG_NARGS() is all it
really needs to know, plus the already-existing support for obtaining
the parameters' actual datatypes.
