Not sure if this will be up to your coding standards, but here is an
attempt - it uses the validator infrastructure to attempt conversion
using the idType function of the foreign table. This will suffice to
ensure values can be converted to the correct type, next level of
validation would be to require the converted value to be a valid id for
the foreign table (probably too much overhead). I think this approach is
relatively consistent with the current style and conventions, but I'm
sure you'll tell me if not. :-)

Patch for col.py and a new test module attached.

Cheers!
