Casting a value that's already of a type with a specific typmod to an unspecified typmod doesn't do anything so far as run-time behavior is concerned. However, it really ought to change the exposed type of the expression to match. Up to now, coerce_type_typmod hasn't bothered with that, which creates gotchas in contexts such as recursive unions. If for example one side of the union is numeric(18,3), but it needs to be plain numeric to match the other side, there's no direct way to express that. This is easy enough to fix, by inserting a RelabelType to update the exposed type of the expression. However, it's a bit nervous-making to change this behavior, because it's stood for a really long time. But no complaints have emerged about 14beta3, so go ahead and back-patch. Back-patch of 5c056b0c2 into previous supported branches.

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check".
