That isn't cast in stone at this point. The problem is that there are
some significant problems with to_char and interval now and some people
feel that getting rid of it is better than providing a broken feature.
If someone comes up with an acceptable spec and implements it for 8.1,
it won't go away.

If it does go away, the fallback is to use EXTRACT and some math.
