Thank you!

The patch looks good to me. But it is not applied :) I think it is
because of new FTS functions for jsonb. The patch need rebasing.

But, from my point of view, it would be nice if the code mentioned
earlier was improved:

It is necessary for arrays of course because of logic mentioned in the
documentation.

But it would be better if SubscriptingRef structure had a new field of
List type. This field can store list of booleans, which means is there
slices or not. I think it can improve readability of the code.
