We could dike out the feature:

convert_list:
            a_expr USING any_name
                {
                    elog(ERROR, "CONVERT(... USING ...) is not implemented");
                }

Short of that, I think we need an initdb to change the function
signature for the convert() function.  It needs to take a (suitably
quoted) text parameter, not an OID.

Since we forced initdb only a week ago with beta3, I don't think there
is really a strong argument against doing it again.  But probably Marc
will say that we need a beta4 at this point, instead of going for RC1...
