Why would you want to call the function with a numeric? What does 1.2
months mean to you? You're probably only interested in the integer part
of the numeric.

Do you really expect to calculate dates over 2 billion months in the
future or the past?

If you really want to; you can write gomonth versions for numeric and
bigint month counts with a body that casts the months value to integer
and calls the gomonth(date, integer) version.
