Yes, surely, unless someone wants to argue for reverting that change to pg_atoi. I can't see a reason for having them act inconsistently.
While we are at it we should make sure these functions are all on the same page about allowing leading/trailing whitespace. I seem to recall that the spec says somewhere that both should be allowed ... but right now I do not think we allow trailing whitespace.
Either way, we should make them a WARNING for 7.5, then error in 7.6. The pg_atoi change was a bit disastrous because of instant error I thought.
