Notes

The full SQL type syntax is allowed for input arguments and return
value. However, some details of the type specification (e.g., the
precision field for type numeric) are the responsibility of the
underlying function implementation and are silently swallowed (i.e., not
recognized or enforced) by the CREATE FUNCTION command.
