I see it happening in two stages. Stage 1 is updating the AM/PM parse code to use the seq_search technique, which may involve some minor refactoring around seq_search itself. This will get us the relaxed validation rules I was talking about before (i.e., "am" is an acceptable spelling for "AM" and vice versa). Stage 2 is improving the error message reporting for all the bits that use seq_search. So I would probably make two TODOs, descriptions could be like: * Relax validation for AM/PM markers in to_timestamp() by using seq_search * Make to_timestamp() error messages more specific, and display the actual value which caused the error.
