Oops, sent to wrong list.

Let me add some arguments for the change:

The original text is:
--------------------------
Also, GIN index supports @@ and @? operators, which perform jsonpath matching.

  SELECT jdoc->'guid', jdoc->'name' FROM api WHERE jdoc @@ '$.tags[*] == "qui"';
  SELECT jdoc->'guid', jdoc->'name' FROM api WHERE jdoc @@ '$.tags[*] ? (@ == "qui")';

--------------------------
So, that gives information on two operators, and then gives one example query for each.  Clearly, the second example
wasmeant to illustrate a where-clause with the  @?  operator.
 

Small change to prevent great confusion (I'll admit it took me far too long to understand this).

thanks,

Erik Rijkers
