Oh I misremembered about that, I though it would take JSON as input
as-is and could be made to output JSON. And IIRC the community input at
pgconf.eu has been to just always output json texts and get rid of the
formating GUCs.
Now, if it turns out that the new hstore is not dealing with json input
and output, we could have json, jstore and hstore.
