From where exactly? I don't see any such example in current sources.
Although you could make this work by double-quoting the name "timestamp"
(which is a reserved word now, per SQL spec), I'd recommend sidestepping
the problem by using the equivalent + operator instead:
regression=# select "timestamp"(date '1998-02-24', time '23:07');
timestamp
---------------------
1998-02-24 23:07:00
(1 row)
regression=# select date '1998-02-24' + time '23:07';
?column?
---------------------
1998-02-24 23:07:00
(1 row)
