Tried to reduce this from some code I’m working on. I have a whole bunch of code that appends to an array in this way
withoutcasting ‘foo’ to text or text[]. It’s only in an exception block that it’s complaining.
Hrm, looking back through my code, it looks like I’m mostly calling format() to append to an array, which of course
returnsa ::text, so no ambiguity. Guess that’s my issue.
Thanks,
