It appeared later; "timestamp" was the alias for "timestamp with time
zone" previously. But this was against the SQL standard so the new
alias was introduced as a backwards incompatible change. There are no
hits for a "grep -r timestamptz src/backend" in 7.1, but they are there
in 7.2. 2002 or so, then.
