We are just getting a NUMERIC() type implemented now by Jan Wieck. We
haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Jan is one of our best
developers so it is likely to be a good replacement for the less general
money type.
It isn't yet certain that the very first implementation of NUMERIC()
will allow one to omit the single quotes around values, but it probably
will.
Barring unforeseen problems, it should be available for v6.5.
