I noticed it was very easy to accidentally call the json_* form of JSON manipulation functions with jsonb data as input. This is pretty sub-optimal, since it involves rendering the jsonb then reparsing it and calling the json_* form of the function.
Fortunately, this seems quite easy to resolve by taking advantage of our ability to add json_*(jsonb) form of the functions.
I talked this over with Andrew who had no objections and suggested I float it on the list before writing a patch. Looks pretty straightforward, just a few new data rows in pg_proc.h.
Anyone have any concerns or suggestions?
