Yes, that'd be base functionality. You can go above and beyond.
I agree with Pavel that jq could be used as a user-defined function, but
proper integration would be better because it would avoid the need to
format and parse JSON around calls to jq, and also because PG could
compile jq programs when preparing SQL statements. Besides, the libjq
jv API is *very* nice.
