We call our timestamp type datetime in some cases, e.g.:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-client.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-CLIENT-FORMAT
timezone_abbreviations (string)
Sets the collection of time zone abbreviations that will be accepted
by the server for datetime input.
I see it in a few other places. Should we rename it other places too?
I thought datetime was just a short-hand for our date-time types.
