Apparently this is a side-effect of lax mode:

select jsonb_path_query_array(
'[5,6,7,8,9]',
'strict $[*] ? (@ == $arr)',
'{"arr": [2,5,8]}'
);

produces and empty array: []

So I like the example only patch even less as it doesn't explain at all why
that random example has been included or how/why it works.

Maybe move the example and exposition to 19.6.2.2 ?
