Hi Atri,

What is an example of custom internal representation and its JSON representation (though and JSON and HStore represent its value as text)?

I also think  that the key question is:  "what operations would you support on this
data type?" 

Or what kind of problems it will solve? (what can't be solved now - or can now - but new type will allow the better way...)

Thanks,

Misa

Yes, we will have a custom internal representation. I was thinking of
ways to export the graph into user parsable type, hence JSON.
