Tom Lane 41d2c081ce Make hstore_to_jsonb_loose match hstore_to_json_loose on what's a number.
Commit e09996ff8d removed some ad-hoc code in hstore_to_json_loose
that determined whether an hstore value string looked like a number,
in favor of calling the JSON parser's is-it-a-number code.  However,
it neglected the fact that the exact same code appeared in
hstore_to_jsonb_loose.

This is not a bug, exactly, because the requirements on the two functions
are not the same: hstore_to_json_loose must accept only syntactically legal
JSON numbers as numbers, or it will produce invalid JSON output, as per bug
#12070 which spawned the prior commit.  But hstore_to_jsonb_loose could
accept anything that numeric_in will eat, other than Inf and NaN.

Nonetheless it seems surprising and arbitrary that the two functions don't
use the same rules for what is a number versus what is a string; especially
since they did use the same rules before the aforesaid commit.  For one
thing, that means that doing hstore_to_json_loose and then casting to jsonb
can produce results different from doing just hstore_to_jsonb_loose.

Hence, change hstore_to_jsonb_loose's logic to match hstore_to_json_loose,
ie, hstore values are treated as numbers when they match the JSON syntax
for numbers.

No back-patch, since this is more in the nature of a definitional change
than a bug fix.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
