Why take away age()? I usually use it to check against INTERVALs? See:

village=> select age(date '1999-05-17', date '1957-06-13') > '40
years'::interval;
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)

village=> select date '1999-05-17' - date '1957-06-13' > '40
years'::interval;
?column?
----------
f
(1 row)

It's useful and I would like to have it this way.
