not in 7.3+, and given my original problem involves timestamps, not in
7.2 either.

yeah, I've thought of some other crazy ways to get around this, but the
problem is due to a bug in the application side. I was hoping I could
write a quick hack (like adding a rule/trigger) to get around this until
the app was fixed, but I'm not going to make my side a kludge when it
isn't one now.
