Yea, but I don't want to do anything like that now, especially since
most of the date/time typedefs are used by ecpg and I am unsure what
affect changing those might have.

My logic was that is was better to have ecpg unclearly typedef'ed in a
few places than to have an adt/ file show "interval    ->days".  "ANY"
is coming from plperl but I can't see from where.
