Research direction

After #1078 is merged, find the existing JSONPointer unit tests and read how pointer, builder, and list-constructor cases are organized. Add tests covering the seven table rows, then run the relevant JSONPointer test suite and confirm each case selects the stated key or value after the change.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

After #1078 is merged, add these unit tests to document the change:

input before 1078 after 1078
/~01, #/~01 selects key / selects key ~1
/~00, #/~00 selects key ~ selects key ~0
/a~01b selects a/b selects a~1b
/a~00b selects a~b selects a~0b
builder().append("~1") selects / selects ~1
builder().append("~0") selects ~ selects ~0
new JSONPointer(List.of("~1")) selects / selects ~1
