    Description

      I insert an invalid date, e.g. '2004-04-31' using SQL_MODE=ALLOW_INVALID_DATES into a DATE column,
      then switch to SQL_MODE=DEFAULT, then cast the value
      to DATE and to DATETIME. CAST works differently for the two types.

      1 row in set (0.00 sec)
       
      mysql> select cast(a as date) from t1;
      +-----------------+
      | cast(a as date) |
      +-----------------+
      | NULL            |
      +-----------------+
      1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
       
      mysql> select cast(a as datetime) from t1;
      +---------------------+
      | cast(a as datetime) |
      +---------------------+
      | 2004-04-31 00:00:00 |
      +---------------------+
      1 row in set (0.00 sec)

      Notice, CAST(a AS DATE) correctly returns NULL,
      while CAST(a AS DATETIME) retuns a datetime value
      with an invalid date ignoring SQL_MODE.
