My feeling is that (a) there is no hurry to do anything about an
unreleased draft of the standard, and (b) perhaps Peter could lobby
the committee to change the standard before it does get published.
hstore's use of => is pretty well embedded already; waiting another
release or two before breaking things is not going to make it
significantly more painful.
