I never expressed disagreement with having shallow append. > The only question worth discussing is whether we change the operator to > "+" (or, for that matter, something else).

The "||" UPDATE idiom from hstore does not and cannot work in a practical way with jsonb's current || operator (at least for the large majority of use cases). It could, it just doesn't. I don't want users to make the same association that I did, which, based on the total lack of documentation for the new operator, they easily could.
