Actually sorry, that's true but it seems it's a bug. The comments even use the
example INTERVAL '1' YEAR which one imagines the author didn't intend to be
parsed as a 1 second interval measured in years.
Looking more at it now. There are a couple different grammar productions that
look like they might be relevant, I'm not sure which is getting used here.
