Subject: doc: Mention PASSING support for jsonpath variables
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aa082bed0b6433b58815683dde425bce57ed931c;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

doc: Mention PASSING support for jsonpath variables

Commit dfd79e2d added a TODO comment to update this paragraph
when support for PASSING was added.  Commit 6185c9737cf added
PASSING but missed resolving this TODO.  Fix by expanding the
paragraph with a reference to PASSING.
