Note that this is *not* what was happening in 8.2. There it was casting them
to text and doing a text comparison. In the case of integer and equality
they're probably equivalent. However < and > will behave quite differently.
That's why the casts disappeared -- you probably weren't running the queries
you thought you were running in 8.2 and previously.
