I implemented commontypenonarray, and commontyperange types. Now, a SQL
functions are supported too.

The naming is same - I had not a better idea. But it can be changed without
any problems, if somebody come with some more acceptable.

I don't think so the name is too important. The polymorphic types are
important, interesting for extension's developers what is small group of
Postgres users.

And personally, I think so commontype and commontypearray are good enough
for not native speakers like me. But I am opened any variant - I think so
this functionality is interesting
and partially coverage one gap in our implementation of polymorphic types.
