Peter Eisentraut said he'd like JSON better:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/5547DB0A.2020904@gmx.net
I asked twice about the use of JSON, suggesting an array instead:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20151204163147.GZ2763@alvherre.pgsql
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20160201215714.GA98800@alvherre.pgsql

I now think that we should figure out what it is that we want before we
continue to request it to be changed over and over.
