hi. some doc issues.

- <literal>decade</literal>, <literal>century</literal>, and
<literal>millennium</literal>).
+ <literal>decade</literal>, <literal>century</literal>, and
<literal>millennium</literal>
+ for all types and <literal>hour</literal> and
<literal>day</literal> just for <type>interval</type>).

The above part seems not right. some fields do not apply to interval data types.
test case:
SELECT EXTRACT(epoch FROM interval 'infinity') as epoch
,EXTRACT(YEAR FROM interval 'infinity') as year
,EXTRACT(decade FROM interval 'infinity') as decade
,EXTRACT(century FROM interval 'infinity') as century
,EXTRACT(millennium FROM interval 'infinity') as millennium
,EXTRACT(month FROM interval 'infinity') as mon
,EXTRACT(day FROM interval 'infinity') as day
,EXTRACT(hour FROM interval 'infinity') as hour
,EXTRACT(min FROM interval 'infinity') as min
,EXTRACT(second FROM interval 'infinity') as sec;

--------------------

- <entry><type>date</type>, <type>timestamp</type></entry>
+ <entry><type>date</type>, <type>timestamp</type>,
<type>interval</type></entry>
<entry>later than all other time stamps</entry>

it seems we have forgotten to mention the -infinity case, we can fix
the doc together, since <type>timestamptz</type> also applies to
+/-infinity.
