Re: Add operator for dividing interval by an interval

We have months, days, and microseconds, and microseconds-per-day isn't
much more stable than days-per-month (because DST).  By the time you
restrict this to give deterministic results, I think it won't be
particularly useful.

You could arbitrarily define months as 30 days and days as 24 hours,
which is what some other interval functions do, and then the double
result would be well-defined; but how useful is it really?
