Research direction

Start by reviewing commit 669924a and the existing support for jsonb_extract_path_text() and jsonb_extract_path(). Trace how those functions are exposed, then add equivalent handling for #> TEXT[] and #>> TEXT; done means both PostgreSQL path operators work for JSON/JSONB values.
