Thread: cash_mul_int8 / cash_div_int8

I noticed cash_mul_int8 / cash_div_int8 are defined in cash.c,
however, pg_proc.h and pg_operator.h contains no relevant entries.

Is it just a careless oversight?

Thanks,

Hm.  I'd be inclined to fix that by removing the dead code, since
it's evidently useless.  For that matter, I doubt we need the int2
and flt4 variants; might as well depend on automatic promotions.

Also, cash_pl, cash_mi, cash_mul_int4 and so on... does not have overflow checks
like as int8pl has.

Of course, most of people don't need to worry about 64bit overflow for
money... :-).
