Feel free to contribute one.
In the bad old days when we couldn't distinguish explicit from implicit
cast functions, I was wary of adding new cast pathways. Too many
implicit casts and you have no type system at all. But in 7.3 there
should be no reason to object to an explicit-only cast from numeric
to text or vice versa.
