Description:

Hi,
I found this very strange behavior of the jsonb_path_query function :

Example : 
```
SELECT jsonb_path_query('{"a":["b","c"]}'::jsonb, '$.a ? (@ == $d)' ,
'{"d":["b","c","e"]}'::jsonb)
```
When using the jsonb_path_query function with a vars argument that includes
an array (here with key d), I cannot compare the queried array against the
vars array.
Instead, I get a per element comparison, which means instead of returning 
["b","c"]

the query returns 
"b"
"c"

just like the query
```
SELECT jsonb_path_query('{"a":["b","c"]}'::jsonb, '$.a[*] ? (@ == $d)' ,
'{"d":["b","c","e"]}'::jsonb)
```
(notice the $.a[*] instead of the $.a)

Interestingly, this means that the following query also returns the same
result
```
SELECT jsonb_path_query('{"a":["b","c"]}'::jsonb, '$.a[*] ? (@ != $d)' ,
'{"d":["b","c","e"]}'::jsonb)
```
(notice the != instead of the ==)

I could not find mentions of this strange behavior in the documentation, and
I would love to know if there is a way of comparing an array against another
array in a jsonb_path_query function call (without using a WHERE clause).
By the way, the current behavior can be useful for finding intersections of
arrays.


Thank you for this truly incredible project
