+      Allow <type>json</> and <type>jsonb</> extraction operators to
+      accept negative subscripts, which count from the end of JSON
+      arrays.  Historically, these operators yielded <literal>NULL</>
+      in the event of a negative subscript, because negative
+      subscripts were considered invalid.  (Peter Geoghegan, Andrew
