So what *does* it do?
OK, so after a brief poll on IRC, one reason you're not getting coherent
feedback on this is that few people understand the operators which
hstore 9.0 already uses and which are new for 9.0, let alone what new
operators are proposed for each thing. I know I've completely lost
track, particularly since doc patches haven't kept up with the code
changes. I've reread most of this thread and it doesn't help me.
On the other hand, maybe less feedback is less bikeshedding. You decide.
