That won't work, because Interval does not have a "zone" field, so this
won't even compile.

The problem is that interval comparisons convert the value using 30 days
per month (see interval_cmp_value), but the formula in this function
uses 31. So either we can tweak that (seems to fix it for me), or maybe
just switch to interval_cmp_value directly.
