Just out of curiosity, exactly what features are missing from jsonb

Somewhere upthread, Peter seemed to estimate it at a day, if I
understood correctly. If that's accurate, I'm certainly behind getting
it done and in and moving on. I'm sure no one particularly likes a
bunch of copy/pasteing of code, but if it would get us to the point of
having a really working jsonb that everyone is happy with, I'm all for
it.
It's not clear how much different it would be if we waited til 9.5
either- do we anticipate a lot of code changes beyond the copy/paste for
these?
I think that was my estimate, but Peter did offer to do it. He certainly
asserted that the effort required would not be great. I'm all for taking
up his offer.
Incidentally, this would probably have been done quite weeks ago if
people had not objected to my doing any more on the feature. Of course
missing the GIN/GIST ops was not part of the design. Quite the contrary.
