Subject: [PATCH v48 3/3] Replace assuming a composite object on a scalar
For jsonb subscripting assignment it could happen that the provided path
assumes an object or an array at some level, but the source jsonb has a
scalar value there. Originally the update operation will be skipped and
no message will be shown that nothing happened. Return an error to
indicate such situations.

The result of a subscripting expression is always of the jsonb data type.

+ UPDATE statements may use subscripting in the
+ SET clause to modify jsonb values. Object
+ values being traversed must exist as specified by the subscript path. For
+ instance, the path val['a']['b']['c'] assumes that
+ val, val['a'], and val['a']['b']
+ are all objects in every record being updated (val['a']['b']
+ may or may not contain a field named c, as long as it's an
+ object). If any individual val, val['a'],
+ or val['a']['b'] is a non-object such as a string, a number,
+ or NULL, an error is raised even if other values do conform.
+ Array values are not subject to this restriction, as detailed below.
