I'm not sure what you mean by that. We receive a pg_tm struct which can't
contain more than 12 in tm_mon right? And actually for intervals it will
reduce "12 months" to "1 year 0 month", so to_char previously didn't report
anything for 12 months either.

Hearing no other opinion I went with -1 -> december and so on in attached v2.
I also fixed the "[-]12 months" case and updated the regression tests. Given
the extra code needed to deduce the correct array position I factorized DCH_RM
and DCH_rm.
