I am for ANSI stanadard. I afraid so we can do nothing now. First we
have to implement substitution of "=>" operator in hstore module.
Second we have to mark this operator as deprecated. Maybe we can do it
in 9.1 with integration of hstore to core. I would to see any hash
table support in core. It can be significant help for PLpgSQL coders.
What more - it can work nice with proposed JSON support.
