I actually agree with your opinion that "midnight" is fine. That text has been that way for over fifteen years[1], and nobody's complained before that it was ambiguous. But, if we're going to change it, let's just s/midnight/00:00:00/ and be done. Making up fancy terminology doesn't improve matters. regards, tom lane [1] git blame dates the text to commit 1b342df00 of 2002-11-11, and apparently it was not new then, but I'm too lazy to dig further.
