If you're unwilling to fix your application, you can hack around that
for yourself.

regression=# select quote_literal(42);   
ERROR:  function quote_literal(integer) does not exist
LINE 1: select quote_literal(42);              ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

regression=# create function quote_literal(anyelement) returns text as $$
regression$# select pg_catalog.quote_literal($1 :: pg_catalog.text)
regression$# $$ language sql;
CREATE FUNCTION

regression=# select quote_literal(42);quote_literal 
---------------'42'
(1 row)
