+1. I actually sometimes need it.
y the way, -(pg_lsn, pg_lsn) yields a numeric. I feel that it could be
confusing that the new operators takes a bigint. We need to cast the
second term to bigint in the following expression.
'2/20'::pg_lsn + ('1/10'::pg_lsn - '1/5'::pg_lsn)
The new + operator is not commutative. I'm not sure it is the right
desgin to make it commutative, but it would be irritatibe if it is
not. (Or maybe we should implement them as functions rather than
operators..)
