Strange date behavior as shown below.

create table "holidays" ("date" date NOT NULL,"name" varchar(25));
insert into holidays values ('01-01-2001'::date,'New Years');
insert into holidays values ('01-15-2001'::date,'Kings Birthday');
insert into holidays values ('02-19-2001'::date,'Presidents Day');

create function is_holiday (date) returns bool as
'select
    case
        when $1=date then 1::bool
        else 0::bool
    end
from holidays' language 'sql'

test=# select date,is_holiday(date) from holidays;

        date   | is_holiday
-----------------+------------
 2001-01-01 | t
 2001-01-15 | f
 2001-02-19 | f
