Discussion of commit ed055d249 revealed that we don't actually want jsonpath's .string() method to depend on DateStyle, nor TimeZone either, because the non-"_tz" jsonpath functions are supposed to be immutable. Potentially we could allow a TimeZone dependency in the "_tz" variants, but it seems better to just uniformly define this method as returning the same string that jsonb text output would do. That's easier to implement too, saving a couple dozen lines. Patch by me, per complaint from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to v17 where this feature came in (in 66ea94e8e). Also back-patch ed055d249 to provide test cases. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/5e8879d0-a3c8-4be2-950f-d83aa2af953a@eisentraut.org
