Thanks!

Hm.  It looks like we got rid of those warnings in v13 via dcb7d3caf:

    Author: Alvaro Herrera <alvhe...@alvh.no-ip.org>
    Branch: master Release: REL_13_BR [dcb7d3caf] 2019-11-12 17:06:58 -0300

    Have LookupFuncName accept NULL argtypes for 0 args

I'm a little tempted to propose that a better solution is to
back-patch that patch.  Removing the warning alone doesn't make
a very strong case for that, but there are other arguments:

* Somebody might back-patch code relying on the newer convention;

* All else being equal, it's better to keep the code in different
branches looking similar.

I'm not sure if those arguments justify a back-patch instead of
the localized hack you suggest.
