Indexing into null return null option

[sixinli]

Hi I am using jsonPath and hit an edge case in which i can't extract things in a persisting order:

{
"context" : [
{ "level1" : { "value1": 1, "value2": { "inner": 2 } } },
{ "level1" : { "value1": 3 } },
{ "level1" : { "value1": 4, "value2": { "inner": 5 } } }
]
}

"$.context.level1.[*].value2" with DEFAULT_PATH_LEAF_TO_NULL will return
[
{ "inner": 2 },
null,
{ "inner": 5}
]

ideally i want to extract [ 2, null, 5 ], and there's no way to get this now because
"$.context.level1.[ * ].value2.[ * ].inner" will return [ 2, 5 ]
*note that if "value2" for "level1" is {} instead this will [ 2, null, 5 ], but it's not possible for me to get that for now

I am wondering if it's possible/reasonable to support indexing into null return null as a configuration option?

Thanks!

$.context[*].level1.value2

with Option.DEFAULT_PATH_LEAF_TO_NULL is probably your best shot as I don't see this as a common use case.

I will not implement this since it's to much of a corner case and not supported by other implementations.
