That was what the pre-7.2 coding did, and it was broken. Types abstime
and "char" are counterexamples in one direction, and float8 and numeric
are counterexamples in the other. (And that's not even considering
user-defined datatypes.) We are not going back to that.
ok, thanks for the concise summary. i will try to think of another
approach to achieve this kind of consistency for array output.
