I have created a small patch to postgres source (in particular the

There are already a wide range of human readable time interval output

He's talking about psql's \timing...
Indeed. Still, it seems like this has more downside than upside.
It seems likely to break some peoples' scripts, and where exactly
is the groundswell of complaint that the existing format is
unreadable? TBH, I've not heard even one complaint about that
before today. On the other hand, the number of complaints we will
get if we change the format is likely to be more than zero.

As a user, your suggestion is fine by me.
