Hmm ... pg_int64 is the only such typedef I'm seeing in that file.
But okay, it's a precedent. The thing I'm having difficulty with
is that I'd like the typedef name to allude to time_t, and I don't
think fooling with the casing of that will be helpful in making
the allusion stick. So how about one of

pg_usec_time_t
pg_time_t_usec

?
