Hmm, PackedTime seems like a fairly random name for the type --- there's
not anything particularly "packed" about it IMO.
I'm a bit inclined to suggest just using the Timestamp typedef.
I guess though that there's some risk of confusion between values
that actually are "timestamp without time zone" and values that need
the same representation but aren't actually intended to represent a
specific point in time.
Maybe "TimeOffset" or "TimeValue" or something like that?
Other than the name game, I think you're headed in the right direction.
