Re: PostgreSQL 14 Beta 1 release announcement draft

14beta1.md mentions subscripting:

"PostgreSQL 14 now adds a general subscripting framework for retrieving
information in nested objects. For example, using the `JSONB` data type
with,
you now are able to retrieve nested info just using the `.` operator (e.g.
`this.now.works.to.retrieve.this.json.data`)."

Is this correct?  I thought the provided JSON subscripting functionality is:

select
    jsonb_pretty(js)
  , js['this']
  , js['this']['now']
  , js['this']['now']['works']
  , js['this']['now']['works'][1]
from
  (values ('{"this": { "now": {"works": [1,2] } } }'::jsonb)) as f(js)
;
      jsonb_pretty      |             js             | js         |  
js   | js
------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------+--------+----
 {                     +| {"now": {"works": [1, 2]}} | {"works": [1,
2]} | [1, 2] | 2
     "this": {         +| |                   |        |
         "now": {      +| |                   |        |
             "works": [+| |                   |        |
                 1,    +| |                   |        |
                 2     +| |                   |        |
             ]         +| |                   |        |
         }             +| |                   |        |
     }                 +| |                   |        |
 }                      | |                   |        |
(1 row)

Where can the `.` operator be used in JSON(B)? What did I miss?
