Comment:

 This one is tricky, the ORM and its aggregation logic was not built in a
 way that accounts for annotations spawning rows themselves (instead of
 through `JOIN`s)  like some [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current
 /functions-srf.html Postgres set-returning functions] (e.g. `UNNEST`).
 These do effectively throw a wrench in the optimization introduced in 4.2
 if the set-returning annotation is not referenced by the aggregation.

 What is really needed here is likely a `Expression.set_returning: bool =
 False` attribute that the ORM can consider to enforce the subquery
 pushdown and preventing of annotation eliding.

 Something like

 {{{#!diff

 That could then be used like

 {{{#!python
 class JSONPathQuery(Func):
     function = "jsonb_path_query"
     output_field = JSONField()
     set_returning = True

 JSONPathQuery("test_json", Value("$.test_key[*]"))
 }}}

 The challenge here is that Django doesn't have any ''core'' set-returning
 function (which also explains why this slipped under the radar for so
 long) so maybe we should also consider adding support for
 `contrib.postgres.Unnest` which is a common one that would allow us to
 ensure proper test coverage and document it as an example of when this
 flag should be set?
