I don't really understand the purpose of this feature to begin with.
You can already call the formatting functions directly. Does this cast
syntax offer anything on top of that?

After this implemented, we can begin fully supporting:
<cast specification> ::=
CAST <left paren>
<cast operand> AS <cast target>
[ FORMAT <cast template> ]
[ <cast error behavior> ON CONVERSION ERROR ]
<right paren>
The ON CONVERSION ERROR feature is independent of the FORMAT feature,
isn't it?
