     To have proper JSON support at the protocol level (something which
I'd love to have) only translates to more performance, no more
functionality. So is a nice-to-have, not a must-to-have (as is
supporting PostgreSQL's json data types).

     We have had to extend JDBC in several ways in the past. We should
do it again, now, in the best possible manner (getObject, PGResultSet,
whatever). And then, if JDBC adds support in the future, retrofit into
it. But not wait until then, because we don't even know if that would
even happen.

     Cheers,
