To me, that seems unnecessarily rigid.  Not a bad idea if we can come
up with something that is otherwise acceptable.  But all of your
suggestions sound worse than Pavel's proposal, so...

I implemented commontypenonarray, and commontyperange types. Now, a SQL functions are supported too.

The naming is same - I had not a better idea. But it can be changed without any problems, if somebody come with some more acceptable.

I don't think so the name is too important. The polymorphic types are important, interesting for extension's developers what is small group of Postgres users. 

And personally, I think so commontype and commontypearray are good enough for not native speakers like me. But I am opened any variant - I think so this functionality is interesting

and partially coverage one gap in our implementation of polymorphic types.

Pavel
