casting zero-length strings

Chris KL recently pointed out to me that we currently don't raise an
error when attempting to cast a zero-length string to a float:

nconway=# select ''::float8;float8
--------     0
(1 row)

nconway=# select ''::float4;float4
--------     0
(1 row)

Similarly for oid:

nconway=# select ''::oid;oid
-----  0
(1 row)

Whereas int and numeric reject zero-length strings:

nconway=# select ''::int;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: ""
nconway=# select ''::numeric;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type numeric: ""

So, should we fix oid and float?

I'm leaning toward "yes", for the sake of consistency and
sanity. However, we were bitten by backward-compatibility concerns
when we made a similar change to the "int" input rules during the 7.3
cycle, so I'm open to other suggestions.
