Subject: [PATCH v39] Subscripting for jsonb

Subscripting implementation for jsonb. It does not support slices, does
not have a limit for number of subscripts and for assignment expects a
replace value to be of jsonb type. There is also one functional
difference in assignment via subscripting from jsonb_set, when an
original jsonb container is NULL, subscripting replaces it with an empty
jsonb and proceed with assignment.

For the sake of code reuse, some parts of jsonb functionality were
rearranged to allow use the same functions for jsonb_set and assign
subscripting operation.

The original idea belongs to Oleg Bartunov.

+   <type>jsonb</type> data type supports array-style subscripting expressions
+   to extract or update particular elements. It's possible to use multiple
+   subscripting expressions to extract nested values. In this case, a chain of
+   subscripting expressions follows the same rules as the
+   <literal>path</literal> argument in <literal>jsonb_set</literal> function,
+   e.g. in case of arrays it is a 0-based operation or that negative integers
+   that appear in <literal>path</literal> count from the end of JSON arrays.
+   The result of subscripting expressions is always jsonb data type. An
+   example of subscripting syntax:
+<programlisting>
+-- Extract value by key
+SELECT ('{"a": 1}'::jsonb)['a'];
+
+-- Extract nested value by key path
+SELECT ('{"a": {"b": {"c": 1}}}'::jsonb)['a']['b']['c'];
+
+-- Extract element by index
+SELECT ('[1, "2", null]'::jsonb)[1];
+
+-- Update value by key, note the single quotes - the assigned value
+-- needs to be of jsonb type as well
+UPDATE table_name SET jsonb_field['key'] = '1';
+
+-- Select records using where clause with subscripting. Since the result of
+-- subscripting is jsonb and we basically want to compare two jsonb objects, we
+-- need to put the value in double quotes to be able to convert it to jsonb.
+SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE jsonb_field['key'] = '"value"';
+</programlisting>
+
+  Subscripting for <type>jsonb</type> does not support slice expressions,
+  even if it contains an array.
+
+  In case if source <type>jsonb</type> is <literal>NULL</literal>, assignment
+  via subscripting will proceed as if it was an empty JSON object:
+<programlisting>
+-- If jsonb_field here is NULL, the result is {"a": 1}
+UPDATE table_name SET jsonb_field['a'] = '1';
+
+-- If jsonb_field here is NULL, the result is [1]
+UPDATE table_name SET jsonb_field[0] = '1';
+</programlisting>
