No, because that would be encouraging people to use tinterval ;-).
That type needs to die.

If Jeff doesn't finish his range-type stuff soon, maybe a tinterval
replacement that hasn't got a Y2038 problem would be in order.  But
we shouldn't put any more effort into tinterval as such.

(BTW, tinterval hasn't got a gist opclass either, so the constructor
is the least of the missing pieces here.)
