Hi, I reconciled with these cases.
What bugs me now is the first query of the following 4 cases (for comparison).
SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '[1,2]', '$' RETURNING char(3) omit quotes);
SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '[1,2]', '$' RETURNING char(3) keep quotes);
SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '[1,2]', '$' RETURNING text omit quotes);
SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '[1,2]', '$' RETURNING text keep quotes);

I did some minor refactoring on the function coerceJsonFuncExprOutput.
it will make the following queries return null instead of error. NULL
is the return of json_value.

    SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '"123"', '$' RETURNING int2);
    SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '"123"', '$' RETURNING int4);
    SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '"123"', '$' RETURNING int8);
    SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '"123"', '$' RETURNING bool);
    SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '"123"', '$' RETURNING numeric);
    SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '"123"', '$' RETURNING real);
    SELECT JSON_QUERY(jsonb '"123"', '$' RETURNING float8);
