Ooh, I like it. A related personal pet peeve of mine: AFAIK the
easiest way to convert from an integer number of seconds to an
interval representing that many seconds is:
(the_int || ' s')::interval
I guess we don't want to get too carried away with this, but has
anyone else gotten annoyed by this?
