commit    eca08f58d05f45c4cae02bca5e1556ba58732fc4
Author:   Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date:     Fri Jun 26 17:54:01 2020 +0000
First released in: 14.0, 13.0

    Doc: explain that "timestamp - timestamp" applies justify_hours().
    
    Back-patch to v13; before that, there's not really space for this
    kind of detail.
