That's what I think, but I lost the argument last time round...
I think it would be easier to sell making these changes as part of
a move that creates non-implicit casts to/from text for *all* datatypes
(implemented on top of their I/O routines). So I don't plan on making
the proposal again until I or somebody else have time to write some
infrastructure for that.
