int4 to text is imho one of the most important implicit coercions of
all.
Still, a field to mark an implicit coercion function is probably a good
thing. 

Imho a numeric to text implicit coercion would also be great :-) 

I come from a db where all coercions are possible implicitly,
this has not been a problem as long as there is a way to overrule.
