Thanks! I had missed GROUP BY ALL (I saw Jakub mention it too), that
looks very convenient. Proposing:

==
PostgreSQL 19 introduces the new `GROUP BY ALL` syntax, making it easy
to add all non-aggregate and non-window parameters as part of the
grouping. This release extends string processing capabilities in
jsonpath with the addition of `lower()`, `upper()`, `initcap()`,
`replace()`, `split_part()`, and the `trim()` family of functions.
