Yeah, that's what I said. But does it really add anything beyond the
proposed text "A function returning a polymorphic type must have at least
one matching polymorphic argument"? I don't think it'd be terribly
helpful to say "A function returning anyelement must have at least one
anyelement, anyarray, anynonarray, anyenum, or anyrange argument", and
for sure such an error message would be a pain to maintain.
