Would be possible to have a boolean, such as 'strict' - so that unique &

allow the same choice?
It should be a pretty-printing function option, perhaps, but not core to the
type itself, IMO.
I don't in the least understand how it could be a pretty printing
option. If we move to a binary rep using the hstore stuff order will be
destroyed and not stored anywhere, and duplicate keys will be lost. Once
that's done, how would a pretty print option restore the lost info?
