Theoretically we can expressify
step/interval
for both numeric and temporal ranges, but only the former is supported here. Things are more complicated for temporal ranges:interval
parameter, we do not want it to participate in the casting of common super type withstart & end
. We could add new special branch to the type conversion rule, but I'd like to see a more general solution, especially as we increasingly turn arguments into expressions.datetime_ranges
, the type conversion ofstart/end
depends in part on the value ofinterval
.So I think of it as follow-up PR(At that time, maybe we can unify
temporal_ranges_impl_broadcast
andnumeric_ranges_impl_broadcast
, or maybe we can't. Sometimes it's hard to unify the handling of numeric and utf8 types without using macros, but I don't like it).
