If I use a pseudo-type in the argument list of a function definition (SQL or plpgsql), how can I determine the actual type used a runtime?

I'm not sure what you mean by pseudo-type, but does the pg_typeof() function help?

E.g. anyelement, anyenum, anyarray are in a table of pseudo types in the official docs.

I'll try pg_typeof...looks like a possibility.
