If you wanted to be a bit more ambitious maybe you could change the fact
that this code is throwing away typmod, which means that declarations
like "varchar(32)" would fail to work as expected. Perhaps it should be
fixed to save the typmods alongside the typioparams and then pass them
to InputFunctionCall instead of passing -1. On the other hand, we don't
currently enforce typmod for any function input or result arguments, so
maybe it's consistent that spi_prepare arguments ignore typmods too.
Thoughts?
I'd like to see us move towards supporting that; both for function
parameters/results as well as inside functions. It'd be nice if both
cases got fixed at once, but IMHO fixing only one now would be better
than fixing none.
I'm not going to do either in fixing this bug - I think they should be
fixed but are a separate issue. These probably belong on the TODO list.
