Re: gin--a rule for function parameter

1 ginarrayextract() has 2 parameters
2 gin_extract_tsquery() has 3 parameters
3 run sql(from plsql/src/test/regress/sql/opr_sanity.sql), it expect no
results:
-------------
SELECT p1.amopclaid, p1.amprocnum,
p2.oid, p2.proname,
p3.opcname,
p4.amopclaid, p4.amprocnum,
p5.oid, p5.proname,
p6.opcname
FROM pg_amproc AS p1, pg_proc AS p2, pg_opclass AS p3,
pg_amproc AS p4, pg_proc AS p5, pg_opclass AS p6
WHERE p1.amopclaid = p3.oid AND p4.amopclaid = p6.oid AND
p3.opcamid = p6.opcamid AND p1.amprocnum = p4.amprocnum AND
p1.amproc = p2.oid AND p4.amproc = p5.oid AND
(p2.proretset OR p5.proretset OR p2.pronargs != p5.pronargs);
--------------
We can get results as follow:
amopclaid | amprocnum | oid | proname | opcname |
amopclaid | amprocnum | oid | proname | opcname
-----------+-----------+------+---------------------+------------------+-----------+-----------+------+---------------------+------------------

4 But, reading "plsql/src/test/regress/sql/opr_sanity.sql", there is a
sentence said:
" We can check that all the referenced instances of the same support routine
number take the same number of parameters" ?

5 So, ginarrayextract() and gin_extract_tsquery() should take the same
number of parameters?
Or, " We can check that all the referenced instances of the same support
routine number take the same number of parameters" is not a right?

6 Actually, pgsql allow all the referenced instances of the same support
routine number do not take the same number of parameters.

Thanks.
