While I don't care that much one way or the other --- what is the
difference between this and the prior state?  Karel already said
in the 7.4 docs that to_char(interval) would be removed in the next
release.  Why would the people who ignored the warning last time
believe it this time round?

I think that 8.0 is a more appropriate release number in which to be
taking backwards-compatibility hits than 8.1.  So if we're gonna do
it at all, I would vote for doing it now.
