Don't elide casting to typmod -1. Casting a value that's already of a type with a specific typmod to an unspecified typmod doesn't do anything so far as run-time behavior is concerned. However, it really ought to change the exposed type of the expression to match. Up to now, coerce_type_typmod hasn't bothered with that, which creates gotchas in contexts such as recursive unions. If for example one side of the union is numeric(18,3), but it needs to be plain numeric to match the other side, there's no direct way to express that. This is easy enough to fix, by inserting a RelabelType to update the exposed type of the expression. However, it's a bit nervous-making to change this behavior, because it's stood for a really long time. (I strongly suspect that it's like this in part because the logic pre-dates the introduction of RelabelType in 7.0. The commit log message for 57b30e8e2 is interesting reading here.) As a compromise, we'll sneak the change into 14beta3, and consider back-patching to stable branches if no complaints emerge in the next three months.
