Nice. The patch applies clean and the cfbots seem much happier now - all
passed.

17:23:19 postgres=# SELECT now();
              now

(1 row)

The docs render also just fine. I'm now wondering if HH24:MI:SS should
be formatted with, e.g. using <literal>

"The current time on the client in <literal>HH24:MI:SS</literal> format."

But that I'll leave to the docs experts to judge :)

Best, Jim
