Probably better if forwarded to the hackers list but it would
be nice if you could set a flag for each transaction/connection
to "autocast" on INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and COPY according to
the column the value is destined for.
set enable_autocast = on;
Could make for sloppy, less portable SQL and may take a hit
in performance on INSERT's and the like conversely it would
reduce the code on the client side.
Guess it depends what you want to be doing the most work.
