I think this syntax is supposed to work according to the SQL spec. Tom
Lockhart was fooling around with making that stuff spec-compliant before
he left the project, and no one has bothered to pick it up since :-(.
Perhaps everyone thinks the spec syntax for interval constants is so
bizarre and non-orthogonal it's not worth dealing with ...
