Well, try things out if you have time and see if things work in general.
It took me quite some time to work through the issues and we'll need to
try many cases and have some back-and-forth discussion before everything
is clear and we can determine what adjustments should be made.
fyi, the original SQL developers for Postgres seemed to be divided on
the subject, but one camp concluded that almost no automatic type
conversion was desirable. I think in practice that this is too extreme,
since many cases have an obvious best conversion strategy...
