Re: hstores in pl/python

There are a lot of operators and functions to work with hstore.
Does it worth it to implement similar things only to make it
possible using operator [] ?

What type of <value> is? Can it be assoc. array ?
Is it possible to indexing assoc. array by position ?
Any many many other questions can be there. So,

Its still specialized type.
But, Pavel, I feel you idea. You want to make the syntax
clear in particular...
