From 86bb7e9aa135cb4dbcf8ffe4cfbe473c1a003c3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 17:22:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] Change the wording of our traditional function-not-found hint. With the previous patch's addition of specific messages for a lot of other error cases, it's possible to be pretty sure that the problem is mismatched argument types rather than something else, so we can be more specific about that. I think this wording is clearer and follows our message style guidelines better (by separating factual detail from hint). However, the change causes a lot of churn in our regression test results, and probably will do the same to extensions and other downstream consumers. Is it worth it?
