What do you mean it doesn't change the behavior?  It establishes a
specific set of behaviors for functions with non-default typmods in
their arguments.  If we just apply whatever was the easiest thing to
implement, without any discussion, we are very likely to regret it
later.

It might be that what you've done is all fine, but I'd like some
discussion and consensus on the issues.  Submitting an entirely
documentation-free patch is not the way to establish consensus.
