While looking through the current code, I spotted the following oddity:

select timestamp 'yesterday 10:30';     timestamp
---------------------2011-08-26 10:30:00

which is what you'd expect, however:

select timestamp '10:30 yesterday';     timestamp
---------------------2011-08-26 00:00:00

Similarly "today" and "tomorrow" reset any time fields so far, but
ISTM that they should really be preserving the hour, min, sec fields
decoded so far.
