 * Use this to access nested properties in a JSON column.
 * You can also use the dot notation with {@link sql.attribute}, but this works with any values, not just attributes.
 *
 * @param expression The expression to access the property on.
 * @param path The path to the property. If a number is used, it will be treated as an array index, otherwise as a key.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * sql`${jsonPath('data', ['name'])} = '"John"'`
 * ```
 *
 * will produce
 *
 * ```sql
 * -- postgres
 * "data"->'name' = '"John"'
 * -- sqlite, mysql, mariadb
 * JSON_EXTRACT("data", '$.name') = '"John"'
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * // notice here that 0 is a number, not a string. It will be treated as an array index.
 * sql`${jsonPath('array', [0])}`
 * ```
 *
 * will produce
 *
 * ```sql
 * -- postgres
 * "array"->0
 * -- sqlite, mysql, mariadb
 * JSON_EXTRACT(`array`, '$[0]')
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * // notice here that 0 is a string, not a number. It will be treated as an object key.
 * sql`${jsonPath('object', ['0'])}`
