No reason other than that most other headers use Node.  I agree that
making an exception for this patch might be better, so I've
incorporated your patch into 0001.

I've also updated the query functions patch (0003) to address the
crashing bug reported by Erik.  Essentially, I made the coercion step
of JSON_QUERY to always use json_populate_type() when WITH WRAPPER is
used.  You might get funny errors with ERROR OR ERROR for many types
when used in RETURNING, but at least there should no longer be any
crashes.
