Better, but Dmitry Dolgov gets the credit not me.

"Difficult"?  I don't think it was possible at all.  Perhaps

    Previously subscript handling was hard-coded into the server,
    so that subscripting could only be applied to array types.
    This change allows subscript notation to be used to extract
    or assign portions of a value of any type for which the concept
    makes sense.

Perhaps "extract and assign to portions of JSONB documents" or
something like that?
