I haven't actually figured out what the benefit would be, other than

basically got hstore.
Not exactly, because in hstore all the element values have to be,
specifically, text. Having hstores of other kinds of objects would,
presumably, be useful.
I love hstore, and I've used it a lot, but I don't think there's much
future in doing this. This is part of what JSON would buy us, isn't it?
cheers
