And I'm willing to do that, but I thought it best to submit a bare
bones patch first, in the hopes of minimizing the number of
objectionable things therein. For example, if you want to be able to
index a JSON column, you have to decide on some collation order that
is consistent with JSON's notion of equality, and it's not obvious
what is most logical. Heck, equality itself isn't 100% obvious. If
there's adequate support for including JSON in core, and nobody
objects to my implementation, then I'll throw some ideas for those
things up against the wall and see what sticks.
