As there is no immediately obvious way to return the entire LHS when using
this operator it doesn't seem that far-fetched to define this as the syntax
that would do so - though then there wouldn't be a way to not return the
entire LHS without providing a known invalid key (maybe '{NULL}' - what
would that do now anyway...)
Not that we would necessarily want to duplicate hstore but "hstore ->
text[]" seems similar enough to emulate if desired.
