I dunno, this seems to approach the feature from the specifics rather
than its full generality. I would have said something like
Make subscripting user-extensible for "container" types
<!-- maybe "array-like types" -->
Subscripting JSONB is now integrated in core, and adding user-defined
subscripting for other types is possible.

Bob [Floyd] used to say that he was planning to get a Ph.D. by the "green
stamp method," namely by saving envelopes addressed to him as 'Dr. Floyd'.
After collecting 500 such letters, he mused, a university somewhere in
Arizona would probably grant him a degree. (Don Knuth)
