compare the two plan:

create table x (y decimal(10,4));
plan quantile(y, 0.0) from x;
plan quantile(y, 0) from x;

The first works, the second doesn't. However both are questionable.
The first casts column y to double (why?), the second casts it to tinyint(!).

I think there should be no cast at all of column y, since quantiles are defined on all integer types (there may have to be some higher level magic to deal with decimals).
