This seems to be fallout from the move to tighten up implicit coercions
(cf http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-04/msg00528.php
as well as lots of earlier discussions).

I said right along that this topic needed more debate, but we haven't
gotten back to looking at it.  We have a number of other nasty behaviors
in current sources that trace back to altering the set of available
coercions.
