Why take away age()? I usually use it to check against INTERVALs? See:

village=> select age(date '1999-05-17', date '1957-06-13') > '40
years'::interval;?column?
----------t
(1 row)
village=> select date '1999-05-17' - date '1957-06-13' > '40
years'::interval;?column?
----------f
(1 row)

It's useful and I would like to have it this way.
