Make the to_reg*() functions accept text not cstring.
Using cstring as the input type was a poor decision, because that's not really a full-fledged type. In particular, it lacks implicit coercions from text or varchar, meaning that usages like to_regproc('foo'||'bar') wouldn't work; basically the only case that did work without explicit casting was a simple literal constant argument. The lack of field complaints about this suggests that hardly anyone is using these functions, so hopefully fixing it won't cause much of a compatibility problem. They've only been there since 9.4, anyway. Petr Korobeinikov
