No, there's no such proposal on the table.

I would have thought it likely, given a well-designed schema, that if it
makes sense for a function to accept either of these two types, they will
have some relationship in the schema. For example, they will be members of
the same substitition group, or they will have the same type. You should
then be able to refer to them generically using the substitution group name
or the type name.
