  conversion from a datetype to formatted text:

to_char( datetime,  text)
to_char( timestamp, text)
to_char( int4, text)
to_char( int8, text)
to_char( float4, text)
to_char( float8, text)

to_datetime ( text, text)
to_timestamp ( text, text)
to_number ( text, text)    (convert to numeric)

total exactly (now). Small differentions are in number formating. It will
fix in next to_char() version.
