Is exists. Not in very usefull state, true.

I have two motivations for commit in main code. I don't speak about
functions like add_months (it's can be in sontrib, for me). a) next_day,
last_day are usefull, I am sure, and I wont to use them. b) some functions
need patch to parser - greatest, least and decode. I don't know way to
implemented its efective like normal contrib functions. And if they are
outside main tree, you have to maintain patch :-(.
I expect so less used functions will go to contrib: LNNVL, .. but some
functions can by general usefull. There is WIDTH_BUCKET in core too now.
Who use it?
