   @alamb thanks for your feedback. I agree it's important to avoid 
back-and-forth with a change, so the broader review the better.

   I don't think this particular change should be controversial though.
   
   See issue, but also:
   
   1. we as the project primarily follow PostreSQL behavior and this is what 
this PR does (i think this rule is kind of well established, even if not well 
documented, but i see https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/13706 is not 
merged)
   2. PostgreSQL aside, the implicit coercions should generally not fail (but 
alas, i've seen systems violating this common sense rule). Casting from float 
to decimal obviously may mail

   let's do it!
