I think you misread my message. What I want is for the subscript-version:
('{"key":"value"}'::jsonb)['key']
to return:
┌──────────┐

├──────────┤

└──────────┘
instead of
┌─────────┐
│ jsonb │
├─────────┤
│ "value" │
└─────────
A given syntax/operator can only return one thing so what you want is
fundamentally not possible.
That's not very helpful....
Apparently I'm after a solution which either casts this to varchar or a
function that takes JSONB as argument and outputs the first field-value as
varchar.
