V43 is far more intuitive! thanks!

if (isnull ||
(exprType(expr) == JSONBOID &&
btype == default_behavior))
coerce = true;
else
coerced_expr =
coerce_to_target_type(pstate, expr, exprType(expr),
  returning->typid, returning->typmod,
  COERCION_EXPLICIT, COERCE_EXPLICIT_CAST,
  exprLocation((Node *) behavior));

obviously, there are cases where "coerce" is false, and "coerced_expr"
is not null.
so I think the bool "coerce" variable naming is not very intuitive.
maybe we can add some comments or change to a better name.


JsonPathVariableEvalContext
JsonPathVarCallback
JsonItemType
JsonExprPostEvalState
these should remove from src/tools/pgindent/typedefs.list

+ExecEvalJsonExprPath(ExprState *state, ExprEvalStep *op,

" No return if the ON ERROR/EMPTY behavior is ERROR."  is wrong?
counter example:
SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '{"a":[12,2]}', '$.a' RETURNING int4RANGE omit
quotes error on error);
also "JsonExprPostEvalState" does not exist any more.
overall feel like ExecEvalJsonExprPath comments need to be rephrased.
