It's still fairly unclear why you think that comparing timetz values
is a useful activity. Is "23:32" earlier or later than "00:32"?
How can you tell whether it's the same day or different days? Adding
timezones into that doesn't make it better.
Our documentation deprecates timetz as a poorly-defined datatype,
and I've never seen a reason to argue with that judgment. I'd suggest
taking a very hard look at why you're not using timestamptz instead.
