In my projects intervals are always related to some dates when
displaying them, so I use to_char(date+interval).

It looks it could be useful to display how much time is left for
scheduling cases, but as I wrote few threads ago - displaying intervals
longer than one month is useless without specific date.

Anyway, maybe it should be left for future use, but without patterns
related to date, or maybe with DDD only?
