OK, that's good information. So we have JSONB which ties to a core
type, JSON, _and_ to a contrib module, hstore. No wonder it is so
complex.
I am warming up to the idea of moving hstore internals into core,
sharing that with JSONB, and having contrib/hstore just call the core
functions when defining its data type.
