Research direction

Start by reading #161 to understand why JSONB subscripting was disabled, then compare the proposed behavior with the ClickHouse JSON sub-column syntax in the linked documentation. Review #169 for the related approach. Done means determining whether col['name'] can be converted correctly and documenting or implementing the resulting behavior with appropriate validation.
