 * coerce_to_target_type()

 *
 * This is the general-purpose entry point for arbitrary type coercion
 * operations.	Direct use of the component operations can_coerce_type,
 * coerce_type, and coerce_type_typmod should be restricted to special
 * cases (eg, when the conversion is expected to succeed).
 *
 * Returns the possibly-transformed expression tree, or NULL if the type
 * conversion is not possible.	(We do this, rather than ereport'ing directly,
 * so that callers can generate custom error messages indicating context.)
 *
 * pstate - parse state (can be NULL, see coerce_type)
 * expr - input expression tree (already transformed by transformExpr)
 * exprtype - result type of expr
 * targettype - desired result type
 * targettypmod - desired result typmod
 * ccontext, cformat - context indicators to control coercions
 * location - parse location of the coercion request, or -1 if unknown/implicit

 * 3) All arguments declared ANYRANGE must have the same datatype,

 * 5) Similarly, if there are arguments of both ANYELEMENT and ANYRANGE,
 *	  make sure the actual ANYELEMENT datatype is in fact the subtype for
 *	  the actual ANYRANGE type.
 * 6) ANYENUM is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used
 *	  (alone or in combination with plain ANYELEMENT), we add the extra
 *	  condition that the ANYELEMENT type must be an enum.
 * 7) ANYNONARRAY is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used,

 *	  (This is a no-op if used in combination with ANYARRAY or ANYENUM, but
 *	  is an extra restriction if not.)
 *
 * Domains over arrays match ANYARRAY, and are immediately flattened to their
 * base type.  (Thus, for example, we will consider it a match if one ANYARRAY
 * argument is a domain over int4[] while another one is just int4[].)	Also
 * notice that such a domain does *not* match ANYNONARRAY.
 *
 * Similarly, domains over ranges match ANYRANGE, and are immediately
 * flattened to their base type.
 *
 * Note that domains aren't currently considered to match ANYENUM,
 * even if their base type would match.
 *
 * If we have UNKNOWN input (ie, an untyped literal) for any polymorphic
 * argument, assume it is okay.
 *
 * If an input is of type ANYARRAY (ie, we know it's an array, but not
 * what element type), we will accept it as a match to an argument declared
 * ANYARRAY, so long as we don't have to determine an element type ---

 * enforce_generic_type_consistency()
 *		Make sure a polymorphic function is legally callable, and

 *
 * If any polymorphic pseudotype is used in a function's arguments or
 * return type, we make sure the actual data types are consistent with
 * each other.	The argument consistency rules are shown above for
 * check_generic_type_consistency().
 *
 * If we have UNKNOWN input (ie, an untyped literal) for any polymorphic
 * argument, we attempt to deduce the actual type it should have.  If
 * successful, we alter that position of declared_arg_types[] so that
 * make_fn_arguments will coerce the literal to the right thing.
 *
 * Rules are applied to the function's return type (possibly altering it)
 * if it is declared as a polymorphic type:
 *
 * 1) If return type is ANYARRAY, and any argument is ANYARRAY, use the
 *	  argument's actual type as the function's return type.
 * 2) Similarly, if return type is ANYRANGE, and any argument is ANYRANGE,
 *	  use the argument's actual type as the function's return type.
 * 3) If return type is ANYARRAY, no argument is ANYARRAY, but any argument is
 *	  ANYELEMENT, use the actual type of the argument to determine the
 *	  function's return type, i.e. the element type's corresponding array
 *	  type.  (Note: similar behavior does not exist for ANYRANGE, because it's
 *	  impossible to determine the range type from the subtype alone.)
 * 4) If return type is ANYARRAY, but no argument is ANYARRAY or ANYELEMENT,
 *	  generate an error.  Similarly, if return type is ANYRANGE, but no
 *	  argument is ANYRANGE, generate an error.	(These conditions are
 *	  prevented by CREATE FUNCTION and therefore are not expected here.)
 * 5) If return type is ANYELEMENT, and any argument is ANYELEMENT, use the
 *	  argument's actual type as the function's return type.
 * 6) If return type is ANYELEMENT, no argument is ANYELEMENT, but any argument
 *	  is ANYARRAY or ANYRANGE, use the actual type of the argument to determine
 *	  the function's return type, i.e. the array type's corresponding element
 *	  type or the range type's corresponding subtype (or both, in which case
 *	  they must match).
 * 7) If return type is ANYELEMENT, no argument is ANYELEMENT, ANYARRAY, or
 *	  ANYRANGE, generate an error.	(This condition is prevented by CREATE
 *	  FUNCTION and therefore is not expected here.)
 * 8) ANYENUM is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used
 *	  (alone or in combination with plain ANYELEMENT), we add the extra
 *	  condition that the ANYELEMENT type must be an enum.
 * 9) ANYNONARRAY is treated the same as ANYELEMENT except that if it is used,
 *	  we add the extra condition that the ANYELEMENT type must not be an array.
 *	  (This is a no-op if used in combination with ANYARRAY or ANYENUM, but
 *	  is an extra restriction if not.)
 *
 * Domains over arrays or ranges match ANYARRAY or ANYRANGE arguments,
 * respectively, and are immediately flattened to their base type. (In
 * particular, if the return type is also ANYARRAY or ANYRANGE, we'll set it
 * to the base type not the domain type.)
 *
 * When allow_poly is false, we are not expecting any of the actual_arg_types
 * to be polymorphic, and we should not return a polymorphic result type
 * either.	When allow_poly is true, it is okay to have polymorphic "actual"
 * arg types, and we can return ANYARRAY, ANYRANGE, or ANYELEMENT as the
 * result.	(This case is currently used only to check compatibility of an
 * aggregate's declaration with the underlying transfn.)
 *
 * A special case is that we could see ANYARRAY as an actual_arg_type even
 * when allow_poly is false (this is possible only because pg_statistic has
 * columns shown as anyarray in the catalogs).	We allow this to match a
 * declared ANYARRAY argument, but only if there is no ANYELEMENT argument
 * or result (since we can't determine a specific element type to match to
 * ANYELEMENT).  Note this means that functions taking ANYARRAY had better
 * behave sanely if applied to the pg_statistic columns; they can't just
 * assume that successive inputs are of the same actual element type.
