A quick question:

in 7.3 the following no longer works:

  template1=> select 0::bool;
  ERROR:  Cannot cast type integer to boolean

The statement must be rewritten as this:

  template1=> select '0'::bool;
   bool 
  ------
   f
  (1 row)

Is there a reason for this?
I ask because the former query works in 7.1.3 and 7.2.1,
but I haven't seen any mention of a change in 7.3 (at
least not in the release notes).

Apologies if this has been discussed to death previously,
but it might be worth mentioning somewhere as a "gotcha".
