I'm cool with that. It's possible that there are installations out there that still have => operators installed, but every still-supported release warns you not to do that, and the hstore change exists in three released versions. Anyway, no amount of waiting will eliminate the hazard completely. > I am sending a implementation where syntax based on "=>" symbol is second > (but preferred) variant of ":=" syntax .. syntax ":=" will be supported > still. > > Here is a patch
I think you should just remove the WARNING, not change it to an error. If somebody wants to quote the operator name to be able to continue using it, I think that's OK.
It looks so quoting doesn't help here
