        Here is a more
        complex example:
-       <literal>to_timestamp('15:12:02.020.001230', 'HH:MI:SS.MS.US')</literal>
+       <literal>to_timestamp('15:12:02.020.001230', 'HH24:MI:SS.MS.US')</literal>
        is 15 hours, 12 minutes, and 2 seconds + 20 milliseconds +
        1230 microseconds = 2.021230 seconds.
