Hi,

I just noticed that that there are functions defined (such as 
pg_catalog.time(timestamp) that can only be called when prefixed with 
pg_catalog. However other functions (that are at first glance defined 
identically to time()) can be called without prefixing them with pg_catalog.

My understanding is that time(timestamp) is there to support the various CAST ( .. ) 
expressions, but why isn't it exposed as a "regular" function as well (as it 
seems to work just fine when being called directly)

So, just out of curiosity: how could I tell by looking at pg_proc (or other system 
tables) which of those functions is "public" and which is not?

Regards
Thomas
