Is there a particular reason that the start/min/max/inc values are now
being cast to character_data, rather than integer, as they have been? I
have some views I'm using that just broke because of this.
I'd rather not work around this if it's not necessary, and it doesn't
seem to make sense for these values to be of other than a numeric type
(and likely BIGINT, as that's what pg_sequence_parameters() returns).
