check (col_name >= '0 day'::interval)

Is there any way to write a constant interval without a cast? It sure seems awkward to always have to cast. (AT least I always seem to have to cast after my little bit of experiementing.)

(BTW, check (col_name >= CAST ('0 days' AS interval))
is more portable.)
