Right, so I was just saying that after we fix this behavior, the
behavior of JSONARRAY @> JSONARRAY should be commented somewhere because
that comparison may not work the way users who are not long-time
postgres users expect. Heck, I've personally done very little ARRAY @>
ARRAY myself in 12 years of using PostgreSQL arrays; I had to test it to
verify the current behavior.

Not sure exactly where this note should go, mind you.
