With the proliferation of JSON usage in PG thanks to jsonb, I'd count us
lucky if we don't get complaints about this in the next three years.

I don't expect to have time to work on it in the near future,
unfortunately, but Robert's thoughts on supporting a new TOAST pointer
structure (with a way to support what's currently there, to avoid an
on-disk break) seems like a good starting point to me.
Thanks!
