Log message:
        In my mind there were two categories of open issues
        a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about
        outputting this format)
        and
        b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current
        postgresql shorthand of
        '1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute
        in favor of the ISO-8601
        'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month.
        
        Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that
        did not break backward compatability, including the ability to
        output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to
        iso8601basic.
        
        Interval values can now be written as  ISO 8601 time intervals, using
        the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with
        the character 'P', followed  by a string of values followed
        by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and
        time parts of the interval.
