How about
select myfunc(a := 7, b := 6);
If we go with that, should we make some preparations to allow => in the
future? Like provide an alternative operator name for hstore's =>, and
add a note somewhere in the docs to discourage other modules from using =>.
I'd vote no. We're intentionally choosing to deviate from a very poor
choice of notation. Maybe Peter can interest the committee in allowing
:= as an alternate notation, instead.
What's poor about it? It probably comes from PLSQL which in turn got it
from Ada, so they aren't just making this up. I agree it's inconvenient
for us, but that's a different issue.
