Looking at the grammar, I think that -1 is being interpreted as the
expression minus and 1, as in (no_expression - 1), and the complaint is
that that expression is not a float8.  We already have code to promote
constants to float4.  Thomas will have to comment, because he
understands the handling of the minuses.
