Erm... I suppose I didn't really intend to bring up domains at all.
I'm just playing trying to figure out how things work (easiest by
breaking them I think).
I don't understand why the below patch has such an adverse affect on
the system.
Causes:
(p2.pronargs != 3 OR p2.proretset OR p2.proargtypes[2] !=
'int4'::regtype);
! ERROR: Invalid type name 'int4'
or
(p2.oprkind != 'b' OR p2.oprresult != 'bool'::regtype OR
! ERROR: Invalid type name 'bool'
