Does that create any ambiguities against formats we already support?
I'm worried about examples like this one:

select 'monday, july 22, 22:30 2013'::timestamptz;
      timestamptz       
------------------------
 2013-07-22 22:30:00-04
(1 row)

Right now I'm pretty sure that the datetime parser treats comma as a
noise symbol.  If that stops being true, we're likely to break some
applications out there (admittedly, possibly rather strange ones,
but still ...)
