Also, the calling convention * is a little different: we must prune away "candidates" that aren't actually * coercion-compatible with the input types, whereas in parse_func.c that * gets done by match_argtypes before func_select_candidate is called. * * This routine is new code, replacing binary_oper_select_candidate() * which dates from v4.2/v1.0.x days.

In particular, casting * floats is a pain for users. Whatever the rationale behind not doing * this is, I need the following special case to work. * * In the WHERE clause of a query, if a float is specified without * quotes, we treat it as float8. I added the float48* operators so * that we can operate on float4 and float8. But now we have more than * one matching operator if the right arg is unknown (eg. float * specified with quotes). This break some stuff in the regression * test where there are floats in quotes not properly casted. Below is * the solution. In addition to requiring the operator operates on the * same type for both operands [as in the code Avi originally * commented out], we also require that the operators be equivalent in * some sense.
