I have attached here an entirely new patch (new documentation and
everything) that should please everyone. It no longer overloads
pg_sleep(double precision) but instead add two new functions:
* pg_sleep_for(interval)
* pg_sleep_until(timestamp with time zone)
Because it's no longer overloading the original pg_sleep, Robert's
ambiguity objection is no more.
Also, I like how it reads aloud: SELECT pg_sleep_for('5 minutes');
If people like this, I'll reject the current patch and add this one to
the next commitfest.
Opinions?
