Hi,

The width_bucket function doesn't seem to work the way I'd expect:
postgres=# SELECT width_bucket(4, 0, 12, 3) b1, width_bucket(4 :: NUMERIC, 0, 12, 3) b2;
 b1 | b2 
----+----
  2 |  1
(1 row)

I'd expect b1 = b2 = 2. What am I missing?

This is with 10.4 running as a docker container, if it matters:
postgres=# SELECT version();
                                                             version                   
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 10.4 (Debian 10.4-2.pgdg90+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debi
(1 row)

TIA,
