I'll take them out if people think that is appropriate.

I originally tried just % but something in the grammar stops you using
that for a unary op.

%@@ is a bit on the ugly side for an operator I think.

I intentionally avoided hstore_to_array because it would be unclear
which one it meant (the 1-d or 2-d result).
