Thanks for fixing and for the reminder! Here is the new rebased version. It
contradicts a bit with 44982e7d09, because I'm actually using indexprSlice, but
I guess we can figure this out.

And I must admit, it's a pure fun to maintain such a large patch set in sync
for already several years :)

Commits

  1. Throw error when assigning jsonb scalar instead of a composite object

  2. Filling array gaps during jsonb subscripting

  3. Implementation of subscripting for jsonb

  4. Allow ALTER TYPE to update an existing type's typsubscript value.

  5. Allow subscripting of hstore values.

  6. Support subscripting of arbitrary types, not only arrays.

  7. jit: Reference function pointer types via llvmjit_types.c.

  8. Teach contain_leaked_vars that assignment SubscriptingRefs are leaky.

  9. jit: Correct parameter type for generated expression evaluation functions.

  10. Renaming for new subscripting mechanism

  11. Fix assertion failure for SSL connections.

  12. Teach eval_const_expressions() to handle some more cases.
