It's not the sql operator.
Every week I meet MySql people that want to port their application to
another database and run into problems because they use some mysql
construct instead of the standard sql construct. I fail to see it as a
good thing for pg to add more non standard constructs where that standard
works fine. Extensions for things that are hard/impossible to do with
standard sql is a different thing (but should still be done with care).
If people want it I'd rather have them create the operators themself.
That's my view.
