This works. However, to agree with the original poster's point, if Postgres could be a little more forgiving about values that could be interpreted as correct (like an implicit cast between numeric and enum and string and enum) then we wouldn't have these issues..
it had more implicit casts prior to (I think) 8.3, but there were many ambiguities where things could be interpreted to mean radically different sorts of operations, so they tightened things up in 8.3+ (or was it 8.4+ ?)
