There's a large number of postgres-specific functions for manipulating
json: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-json.html
In my projects for work, I have created several:
* jsonb_build_object
* jsonb_build_array
* jsonb_array_elements
* jsonb_extract_path
* jsonb_extract_path_text
* jsonb_array_length
It would be nice if these were included in `contrib.postgres.functions`,
ideally in a submodule like `contrib.postgres.function.json` to allow room
to expand.
I know postgres's json support is a bit of test-bed for more fleshed out
json support in general, but I would recommend just adding things as
postgres-specific to limit the scope of the changes.
I can open a basic pull request.
