Description

E.g. queries like

select json_get(more_nested.json_data, more_nested.str_key1, more_nested.str_key2) v from more_nested

As of #22 this will return an error instead of silently only using the first array, but in theory we could fully support this.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the multi-array query shown in the issue and tracing the json_get implementation that currently rejects it after #22. Done means queries with more than one array argument resolve the full nested lookup rather than using only the first array or returning an error.
