I have a patch almost done that adds some obvious but currently
missing functionality to hstore, specifically the ability to construct
an hstore from a record, and the ability to construct one from a pair
of arrays.
If there's any other features that people find notably missing from
hstore, I could stick them in too; any requests?
Also, hstore has an (undocumented) limit of 65535 bytes for keys and
values, and it does not behave very cleanly when given longer values
(it truncates them mod 2^16, rather than erroring). That gives rise to
two obvious questions: (1) are those lengths reasonable? they strike
me as being rather long for keys and rather short for values; and (2)
should exceeding the lengths throw an error?
