The proposals I see above are "commontype", "supertype", "anycommontype", and various abbreviations of those. I would humbly add "compatibletype".
Fwiw I kind of like commontype.
Alternately an argument could be made that length and typing convenience isn't really a factor here since database users never have to type these types. The only place they get written is when defining polymorphic functions which is a pretty uncommon operation.
In which case a very explicit "anycompatibletype" may be better.

I think the main thing it's blocked on is disagreement on what the
type name should be, which is kind of a silly thing to get blocked on,
but nonetheless it's important ...I sent some others possible names, but probably this mail was forgottenWhat about "ctype" like shortcut for common type? carraytype, cnonarraytype?RegardsPavel
