The problem is that you have quoted the function name as "int". You
should only do this when you want to force the exact case of the name.
When you do it this way, you have to use double quotes when you refer
to the identifier:

select "int"('t'::boolean);
int
-----
1
(1 row)

So in this case you probably want to call your function int -- without
quotes. By default, PostgreSQL folds the names to lowercase.
