Thanks for the suggestion! I looked at these a bit, but they only work 
if you have a known-ahead-of-time number of arguments. (I did explore 
building an array and calling jsonb_build_object using VARIADIC, but you 
can't build an array with alternating text & jsonb elements. That made 
me curious how these functions even worked, which led me to 
extract_variadic_args (utils/fmgr/funcapi.c), which has some magic to 
support heterogeneous types when not called with the VARIADIC keyword, 
so it seems they bypass the normal variadic handling.)
