I spent some time looking at this, and was discouraged to conclude
that the notational mess would probably be substantially out of
proportion to the value. The main problem is that we'd have to change
the API of pushJsonbValue, which has more than 150 call sites, most
of which would need to grow a new test for failure return. Maybe
somebody will feel like tackling that at some point, but not me today.
