using new Hstore in PG8.4

Hello,
there are a lot of improvements in hstore, that is planned for PG8.5 -
as far I remember it compiles fine with PG8.4 so is it save to use it
with PG8.4 ?

Thanks.

See hstore-new, which delivers the same code to be found in 9.0 as a
module against 8.3 and 8.4.

http://pgfoundry.org/projects/hstore-new
http://packages.debian.org/sid/postgresql-8.3-hstore-new
http://packages.debian.org/sid/postgresql-8.4-hstore-new

It's already packaged in debian, too.
