zero the bits
* Prevent INET cast to CIDR from droping netmask, SELECT '1.1.1.1'::inet::cidr
* Add 'tid != tid ' operator for use in corruption recovery
* Prevent to_char() on interval from returning meaningless values
For example, to_char('1 month', 'mon') is meaningless. Basically,
most date-related parameters to to_char() are meaningless for
intervals because interval is not anchored to a date.
* Allow to_char() on interval values to accumulate the highest unit
requested
o to_char(INTERVAL '1 hour 5 minutes', 'MI') => 65
o to_char(INTERVAL '43 hours 20 minutes', 'MI' ) => 2600
o to_char(INTERVAL '43 hours 20 minutes', 'WK:DD:HR:MI') => 0:1:19:20
o to_char(INTERVAL '3 years 5 months','MM') => 41
Some special format flag would be required to request such
accumulation. Such functionality could also be added to EXTRACT.
Prevent accumulation that crosses the month/day boundary because of
the uneven number of days in a month.
* Add ISO INTERVAL handling
o Add support for day-time syntax, INTERVAL '1 2:03:04' DAY TO SECOND
o Add support for year-month syntax, INTERVAL '50-6' YEAR TO MONTH
