Hi!

I'd like express the following query using Sequel:

SELECT (SELECT array_agg(user->'id') FROM 
json_array_elements(projects.users) as user) as users_ids FROM projects

Projects is a dataset that contains column "users", which is a JSON array 
of objects, each of those objects have an "id" key, the above query 
attempts to select an array of user IDs as a JSON array.

Now, my issue is that I don't know a way to create a dataset that would 
represent `json_array_elements(project.users)` bit of SQL query above. If I 
could somehow create such dataset (let's refer to it as json_array_dataset), 
I imagine the following would work:

projects.select { json_array_dataset.from_self(alias: :user).select { 
array_agg(Sequel.pg_json(Sequel[:user])["id"]) }.as(:users_ids) }

(although I'm not sure that aliasing the users_ids subselected column would 
work the way I expect it to)

After googling for quite some time, I haven't stumbled upon any reference 
on how to handle subqueries for selected columns, but rather only for FROM 
and WHERE statements. Could you help me out with this one, please?
