[#1259] casting functions

Summary: casting functions
Detailed description Casting functions are useful, for example, to concatenate a string with a number, as the concat function takes two strings as input. I lacked this functionality as the default value for one of my columns was: 'generated_' || currval('some_sequence') where || is the concatenation operator. I implemented the cast functions as unary functions. Usage example: <:value< cast_integer "42" >> As for the previous patch, please tell me if anything is not correct from your point of view.
