Well, that could be up for discussion. The "internal" abstime/reltime
types are direct copies of Unix system time, which most systems
support at a fundamental level. Moving to timestamp/interval will
double the storage size of those fields, with no increase in
functionality afaik.

Peter brought up changing one field to timestamp; that would have the
benefit of being able to specify times past y2038.
