IIRC we tight the to_char() and to_timestamp() input for 8.4. Why don't we do
it for to_number() too? The fact of breaking application is not a strong
argument against having compatibility with Oracle to_*() functions. People
that are building applications around these two databases and are using the
to_*() functions are expecting that the behavior being the same (i didn't
remember any complaints about that but ...).
So +1 for this TODO.
