Here's an "interesting" timestamp related postgreSQL quirk:

testdb2=# select "timestamp"('now');
         timestamp
----------------------------
 2002-11-26 13:47:12.454157
(1 row)

testdb2=# select 'now'::timestamp;
         timestamptz
------------------------------
 2002-11-26 13:47:34.88358+00
(1 row)

testdb2=# select timestamp 'now';
          timestamptz
-------------------------------
 2002-11-26 13:47:47.701731+00
(1 row)

The first SELECT returns a 'timestamp', but the next two return a
'timestamptz' (presumably with timezone); is this inconsitent behaviour?
