There's been discussion of a couple of different patches on
pgsql-hackers in the past few months --- see the archives if you want
details. AFAICT there's not yet consensus on which way to proceed.
So while it's possible there will be something of the sort in 9.1,
I wouldn't bet on it.
As was mentioned, there's nothing stopping you from storing JSON stuff
as text right now. If you have any thoughts on what you would need
expanded JSON support to actually *do*, feel free to comment in the
pgsql-hackers threads.
