I hadn't even thought about that point, but the idea that those two
would conflict bothers me quite a lot.  Not least because there's no
reasonable way to enforce it with the existing unique indexes on pg_proc.
I think you'd have to leave the variadic argument out of proargtypes
altogether, and that seems mad.
