Oh oh, jq has bugs..., I hope you reported them. I wondered more than once whether I could trust the results of my jq invocations.

Well, to be fair the probability that my input data or my jq code has bugs might even be higher...

Of course all software has bugs, but I guess most of us have never been bitten by a gcc or Python interpreter bug.

Yeah, the 2 characters deferred to the fq name. The jqjq README has a link, however without mentioning what it is about.

Yes report, and i'm one of the jq maintainers now a days :) and i think you can trust the result if your doing common things. The bugs i've encountered have usually been in exotic parts, ex https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues/3128
