why there is no interval / interval operator?
is it just a simple ommission, or am i missing something?
we have interval / float8 ( = interval), so i think that adding interval
/ interval ( = float8) should be possible.

What would you define it to mean, keeping in mind that an interval
has three components not one?

ah. so i did overlook something :)
what 3 components, and what are the edge cases that it has to handle?
