Actually, I had in mind something like:
8<---------------------
int    i;
int    numargs;
int   *argtypes;

numargs = PG_NARGS();
argtypes = palloc(numargs * sizeof(int));
for (i = 0; i < numargs; i++)   argtypes[i] = get_fn_expr_argtype(fcinfo->flinfo, i);

if ((numargs == 4 || numargs == 5) &&   argtypes[0] == TEXTOID &&   argtypes[1] == TEXTOID &&   argtypes[2] == INT4OID
&&  argtypes[3] == BOOLOID)
 
{   [...]
}
else if  ((numargs == 3 || numargs == 4) &&   argtypes[0] == TEXTOID &&   argtypes[1] == INT4OID &&   argtypes[2] ==
BOOLOID)
{   [...]
8<---------------------
etc.

If the highest number of arguments is always checked first, the
pattern is not ambiguous even with the extra anyelement.
