Comment (by robe):

 I think I had a reason before but can't remember it now.

 I think when I had thought about it at the time json was not a built in
 type and then when it was a type, just create a cast for it, did not make
 row_to_json do the right thing, in that it only worked with built in
 casts, not user defined ones. I'm trying to find the thread where I was
 dicussing this with Andrew Dunstan and I can't find it now.

 That said, row_to_json might be smarter these days.  Have you tried it and
 does it pick it up?
