Karel,
> The to_interval() will have another (you wanted) behaviour.
Please, please, please do not use to_interval for text formatting of
intervals. It's very inconsistent with the naming of other conversion
functions, and will confuse the heck out of a lot of users. As well as
messing up my databases, which have to_interval as a replacement for the
problematically named "interval" function.
