Maybe it means that current design is poor. However since this behavior
is documented there are users who might depend on it. So I doubt it
will be changed any time soon.
Though I wonder maybe we should consider introducing a new set of
time-related procedures with different behavior (to_timestamp_strict?),
that would be more obvious to users.
