I thing the operator 'jsonb-jsonb' behavior in such case is not obvious.
How to understand the result is not like that:

# select '{"a":1, "b":2}'::jsonb - '{"b":2, "a":4}'::jsonb;
?column?
----------
{"a": -3, "b": 0}
(1 row)


P.S.: I guess an _operator_ jsonb+jsonb doesn't exist by the same way…
