So, I kind of like Florian Pflug's suggestion upthread of replacing
hstore => text by hstore & text[].  I think that's about as mnemonic
as we're likely to get, and it gels nicely with the hstore ?& text[]
operator, which tests whether all of the named keys are present in the
hstore.

Does anyone want to bikeshed further before I go do that?
