    Allow subscripting of hstore values. · 0ec5f7e7

    This is basically a finger exercise to prove that it's possible for
    an extension module to add subscripting ability.  Subscripted fetch
    from an hstore is not different from the existing "hstore -> text"
    operator.  Subscripted update does seem to be a little easier to
    use than the traditional update method using hstore concatenation,
    but it's not a fundamentally new ability.
    
    However, there may be some value in the code as sample code, since
    it shows what's basically the minimum-complexity way to implement
    subscripting when one needn't consider nested container objects.
