There are a lot of operators and functions to work with hstore.
Does it worth it to implement similar things only to make it
possible using operator [] ?

My idea is:
somevar['key'] = value
value = somevar['key'];
What type of <value> is? Can it be assoc. array ?
Is it possible to indexing assoc. array by position ?
Any many many other questions can be there. So,
I don't think that assoc. arrays has common interface.
Its still specialized type.
But, Pavel, I feel you idea. You want to make the syntax
clear in particular...
or with constructor
somevar = ARRAY[key1 => value1, key2 => value2, .. ]
or some similar.
