Re: BUG #5852: Function date_trunc is not IMMUTABLE

The version for timestamp without time zone already is marked immutable.
The version for timestamp with time zone can't be marked immutable,
because it isn't: its behavior depends on the timezone setting.

Depending on what it is you hope to accomplish, you might be able to do
something like this:

regression=# create table t1 (f1 timestamptz);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# create index ii on t1 (date_trunc('day', f1 AT TIME ZONE 'UTC'));
CREATE INDEX

This is immutable because the truncation happens with respect to a fixed
timezone.  (Doesn't have to be UTC, any constant timezone name will do.)
