Anything you like.  What I'm saying is that I think I use hstore more 
heavily than most people, and that if the limits were as low as 255b/8K 
it wouldn't hurt me any.

I suppose 1K/4MB would allow OO-types to use hstore as an object store, 
so you'll make them happy with a new foot gun.  Why not?
