that's not a typo, it's "case insensitive LIKE"

the column is an integer, no sense for case sensitive or insensitive...
change it to 'like', you'll get what you want.

That usage is simply bizarre. Why don't you define the column as text,
instead, if that's the type of query you intend to perform on it?

sql-createcast.html tells that
"It is normally not necessary to create casts between user-defined
types and the standard string types (text, varchar, and
char(n)). PostgreSQL will automatically handle a cast to a string
type by invoking the other type's output function, ..."
Therefore, this might help you:
test=# SELECT typoutput FROM pg_type WHERE typname = 'int4';
typoutput
-----------
int4out
(1 row)
