jsonbSet: This little piece of very hard to write (and clever?) code
makes it so we can set or **merge in at any nested level** (!)
arbitrary JSON objects.  We can also delete any key at any
level by making the value null or undefined!  This is amazingly
easy to use in queries -- basically making JSONP with postgres
as expressive as RethinkDB REQL (even better in some ways).

// the group set to "collaborator".
// If the merge field is set then we merge in the change; otherwise,
// we replace the value.

// IMPORTANT: this is a dangerous attack vector -- do not call this function
// with unsanitized input from a user!
