I think that Tom's proposal that we +1 is on a pg_node_tree to json
SQL function / cast; which is tangentially related to the "nodeToJson
/ changing the storage format of pg_node_tree to json" proposal, but
not the same.
I will add my +1 to Tom's proposal for that function/cast, but I'm not
sure on changing the storage format of pg_node_tree to json.
