But the current timestamp does not store a timezone. timestamp with time zone
is supposed to store and output the timezone that was inserted.
The current timestamp has it messed up (sorry), since it does not store a timezone.
It stores time in UTC and always converts output to the timezone derived from [PG]TZ.
IMHO timestamp is currently closest to the ANSI timestamp without time zone.
Especially if you always omit a timezone for input and ignore the timezone that is output.
A reasonably easy upgrade is imho not possible :-(
