Re: Add generate_series(numeric, numeric)

- i think you can use the fctx->current variable without temporary variable (there's comment in the add_var function: Full version of add functionality on variable level (handling signs). result might point to one of the operands too without danger.). But you _must_ switch the context first because add_var will allocate new array for the data and freeing the old one.

- numeric can be NaN. We must reject it as first, finish and last parameter.

- numeric datatype is large, but there are limitations. According to doc, the limit is: up to 131072 digits before the decimal point; up to 16383 digits after the decimal point. How can we check if the next step overflows? As a comparison, in int.c, generate_series_step_int4 checks if its overflows, and stop the next call by setting step to 0. Should we do that?

~ will try to fix the patch later
