Overview
| Comment: | Update documentation for CAST to integer to describe what happens when the integer is too large. This behavior is only supported on the latest trunk, so with this check-in the documentation is no longer suitable for use with 3.22.0. |

TEXT value when converting from TEXT to INTEGER are ignored. ^If there
is no prefix that can be interpreted as an integer number, the result
of the conversion is 0. ^If the prefix integer is greater than
+9223372036854775807 then the result of the cast is exactly
+9223372036854775807. ^Similarly, if the prefix integer is
less than -9223372036854775808 then the result of the cast is
exactly -9223372036854775808.
<p>^When casting to INTEGER, if the text looks like a floating point
value with an exponent, the exponent will be ignored because it is
no part of the integer prefix. ^For example,
"(CAST '123e+5' AS INTEGER)" results in 123, not in 12300000.
