That's roughly what we've done:

119 result:
120 mode expr_or_predicate {
121 ...
125 }
126 | /* EMPTY */ { *result = NULL; }
127 ;
128
129 expr_or_predicate:
130 expr { $$ = $1; }
131 | predicate { $$ = $1; }
132 ;

Oddly, that's only at the top-level goal production. Your entire JSON
path query we'll allow to be a predicate in lieu of an expr. We still
don't allow a predicate to appear in place of an expr within any other
production.
