this time the commiters dislike the contrib dir. It is hard to push there anything :-(. You can try it, but it can be lost time.
Thanks for the warning. I'm okay with my patch adding the "json_path" function to the core PG code.
I would still suggest that we hold off on having my first patch implement an official JSON-related operator such as "JSON_TABLE". I would prefer to have my "json_path" function available to users even before we know how "JSON_TABLE", etc. should behave.
