No, you want one function from smallint to boolean, and the cast the
same way. (The cast is really just syntactic sugar for invoking the
function.)
Depending on what you want this to do, you might have to make the cast
IMPLICIT rather than ASSIGNMENT. I'd try ASSIGNMENT first, though,
since it's less likely to bite you when you weren't expecting it.
