What I am wondering is if those numeric_int16_* functions that also deal
with either the Int128AggState or NumericAggState should be renamed in
similar fashion.

You mean something like numeric_poly_sum instead of numeric_int16_sum? I
personally am not fond of either name. While numeric_int16_* incorrectly
implies we have a int16 SQL type numeric_poly_* does not tell us that
this is an optimized version which uses a smaller state.

Yes that's what I mean, since the int16 in the name is misleading given that in at least some builds the int16 won't be used. You could always have numeric function, int16 function and the poly function which decides between them but that's probably overkill.


The worst part of writing this patch has always been naming functions
and types. :)

Naming is hard :)
