I don't really speak English, but I can't see what else the "as to 
number" part could mean.

But the claim about "exactly matching" data types is completely bogus, too:

   local:marko=#* do $$ declare _f1 timestamp;
   local:marko$#* begin select current_date into _f1;
   local:marko$#* end $$ ;
   DO

   local:marko=# do $$ declare _f1 timestamp;
   local:marko$# begin select text '2004-01-01' into _f1;
   local:marko$# end $$ ;
   DO


.marko
