If Nathan's perf results hold up elsewhere, it seems like some
micro-optimization around the text-pushing (appendStringInfoString)
might be more useful than caching.  The 7% spent in cache lookups
could be worth going after later, but it's not the top of the list.

The output size difference does say that maybe we should pay some
attention to the nearby request to not always label every field.
Perhaps there should be an option for each row to transform to
a JSON array rather than an object?
