Yeah -- the syntax isn't great, but IMO it's more generally usable than what you're proposing because it's a scalar returning function not a table expression. Another point is that the proposed 'like' syntax (which I still think is great, just maybe not for conversions from json) seems wedded to record types. The hstore trick should be able to take a foo[], set it all up and return it.
