Hello,
Please find attached a minor stylish patch. It compiles and the update
test cases work for me.
Description:
Add "AS EXPLICIT" to "CREATE CAST"
This gives a name to the default case of "CREATE CAST", which creates a
cast which must be explicitely invoked.
From a language definition perspective, it is helpful to have a name for
every case instead of an implicit fallback, without any word to describe
it. See for instance "CREATE USER CREATEDB/NOCREATEDB" or "CREATE RULE ...
DO ALSO/INSTEAD" for similar occurences of naming default cases.

Fabien.
