I see you took the surgical approach -- only a cast from a record to
a character string type is affected. I agree that will fix the
complaints I've seen, and I imagine you're keeping the change narrow
to minimize the risk of breaking existing code, but this still looks
weird to me:
test=# select ('2010-11-05'::date).text;

Oh, well -- I guess you have to go well out of your way to shoot
your foot with such cases, so that's probably for the best.
