This one is actually named result_cast_character_set_name in the
standard, although that might be a mistake. Anyway, our documentation
doesn't match our implementation, so one of them has to change.

Hm, yeah, I think I vote with the "it's a mistake" camp. The adjacent
columns are named "result_cast_char_set_whatever", and there are
occurrences of result_cast_char_set_name elsewhere, for example
in the method_specifications view.
