IDK...the first thing that came to mind was to just stick it at the
end of the expression:

select x/y::numeric from (values (10,4)) vals (x,y)

And it worked...

If you want to propose a concrete documentation patch more power to
you but this doesn't come up enough to think that what we have is
materially deficient.  I'm sorry you are having trouble with it but
the lists do provide quick and customized answers for situations like
this.
