Q: Why would to_char() not be IMMUTABLE?

A: Because it makes use of locales, and I guess the guc-timezone GUC,
   which could change if the expression is ultimately used in a PlPgSQL
   fragment, or if it's in a prepared statement.  (I think.)

That to_char is not immutable is not documented though.  Though it's
clear when looking at the docs for the `jsonb_.*_tz()` functions.
