That's right.

This is what you'll get with v16 that I just posted.

I'm not sure whether we should make the parser complain about the
weird types being specified in RETURNING.  The NULL you get in the
above example is because of the following error:

select json_query(jsonb'{"a":[{"a":[2,3]},{"a":[4,5]}]}','$.a[*].a?(@<=3)'
returning anyrange error on error);
ERROR:  JSON path expression in JSON_QUERY should return singleton
item without wrapper
HINT:  Use WITH WRAPPER clause to wrap SQL/JSON item sequence into array.
