Review comment:
       OK. I think what’s important about this API is the _shape_ of the 
result, and JsonPath evaluation will only ever produce a single vector of 
values with the same row indexing, in the same way that, say, a pushed down 
regular expression would. There are other obvious shapes to consider, such as 
an aggregator which produces a single value, or potentially something like a 
JSON UNNEST function which produces a matrix of values, typically with 
different row indexing. So any early abstraction for this needs to be able to 
model shape adequately. JsonPathEvaluator could be generalised to 
_TransformEvaluator_ because it preserves the row indexing.
