He's talking about psql's \timing...
I got that. My point was that even though psql's timing report is kind
of a quick thing hacked into there, if it were revised I'd expect two
things will happen eventually:
-Asking if any of the the interval conversion code can be re-used for
this purpose, rather than adding yet another custom to one code path
"standard".
-Asking if this should really just be treated like a full interval
instead, and then overlapping with a significant amount of that baggage
so that you have all the existing format choices.
