Doesn't seem to me like this fixes anything.  If the content of a jsonb
value is correct, the output will be the same with or without this patch;
and if it's not, this isn't going to really improve matters.

I think coding anything is premature until we decide how we're going to
deal with the fundamental ambiguity.
