If there's any other features that people find notably missing from hstore, I could stick them in too; any requests?
Can you create slices? That is, create a new hstore as a subset of an existing hstore?
Also, hstore has an (undocumented) limit of 65535 bytes for keys and values, and it does not behave very cleanly when given longer values (it truncates them mod 2^16, rather than erroring). That gives rise to two obvious questions: (1) are those lengths reasonable? they strike me as being rather long for keys and rather short for values; and (2) should exceeding the lengths throw an error?
I agree. The keys can be much shorter without any threat of loss. Can the value not essentially be TEXT, and thus theoretically unlimited in size?
