I omitted the "otherwise false" part because of the corner cases which I did
not want to gloss over. But the corner cases also apply if the predicate
matches some value, depending on strict mode, as I noticed later and wrote in
my previous message.
Suggestion:
"Returns true if any JSON value at the given path matches the predicate,
otherwise returns false. Unless the predicate compares different types
(depending on strict mode) or the jsonpath is not a path predicate, in
which case NULL is returned."
I guess it's best to document the corner cases in detail in the notes section
as Adrian pointed out and have the function doc refer to the notes.

The third-person singular "returns" is correct in this case. It does not refer
to the number of returned values.
