ooh. good point. What would be a good operator for that?

I'm thinking that (hstore -> text[]) should probably return text[],
and maybe (hstore => text[]) returning hstore?

i.e.

select ('a=>1,b=>2,c=>3'::hstore) -> ARRAY['a','b'];
  -- returns '{1,2}'

select ('a=>1,b=>2,c=>3'::hstore) => ARRAY['a','b'];
  -- returns 'a=>1,b=>2'

(by analogy to the existing operators -> for lookup and => for
construction)
