I am going to go the way that involves the least amount of explicit
casting or array construction. So get_path() stays, but becomes
non-variadic. get() can take an int or variadic text[], so you can do:
    get(myjson,0)    get(myjson,'f1')    get(myjson,'f1','2','f3')    get_path(myjson,'{f1,2,f3}')
