Indeed, it is. But I also allowed users to choose to use the original cast function:

More precisely, if you type in "alter session set planner.safe_cast_varchar = true", the new safe cast funtion (which casts an empty string into a null numeric value).

Otherwise, planner.safe_cast_varchar is false by default. So the orignal cast function is chosen.
