Re: cannot cast type boolean to text?

I'm not sure if this is the right
So when I do:
    SELECT true :: text;
in psql, I get back:

ERROR:  cannot cast type boolean to text

I was wondering why this is so.  Unfortunately, the place where I hit
the problem was in a function that takes arguments of type ANYELEMENT
and wants to convert them to text.  Which doesn't make it impossible to
work around this, just more annoying.

This is Postgres 8.1.4 .

Would this be something worthwhile to post to Hackers?
