I have applied a patch which adds the 'date' value for interval to the
code.  However, the regression still does not pass.  Here is a query:

      SELECT count(*) FROM intervaltmp WHERE a  = '199 days 21:21:23'::interval;
       count
      -------
           1
      (1 row)

that should return 1, but returns 0 in the current code.  Does anyone
have any ideas on a fix?
