It appears "*" GJSON wildcard is not working as expected

It appears "*" GJSON wildcard is not working as expected. It doesn't to traverse past the first key
the networking.interfaces Puppet fact.

Example from the documentation on compound filters

choria discover -S 'include(fact("networking.interfaces.*.bindings.#.network"), "10.0.2.0")'

Consider the following Puppet fact (hash was shortened for brevity):

{
  "networking": {
    "domain": "domain.com",
    "fqdn": "hostname.domain.com",
    "hostname": "hostname",
    "interfaces": {
      "ens224": {
        "bindings": [
          {
            "address": "10.50.36.210",
            "netmask": "255.255.255.0",
            "network": "10.50.36.0"
          }
        ],
        "ip": "10.50.36.210",
        "netmask": "255.255.255.0",
        "network": "10.50.36.0",
      },
      "ens256": {
        "bindings": [
          {
            "address": "10.50.0.73",
            "netmask": "255.255.254.0",
            "network": "10.50.0.0"
          }
        ],
        "dhcp": "10.50.0.1",
        "ip": "10.50.0.73",
        "netmask": "255.255.254.0",
        "network": "10.50.0.0",
      },
    },
    "ip": "10.50.36.210",
    "netmask": "255.255.255.0",
    "network": "10.50.36.0",
  }
}

If I try this example on one of my puppet nodes, "*" does not work as expected. It can find the address in the first interface, but not the second:

choria discover -S 'include(fact("networking.interfaces.*.bindings.#.address"), "10.50.36.210")' | wc -l
1

choria discover -S 'include(fact("networking.interfaces.*.bindings.#.address"), "10.50.0.73")' | wc -l
0

Currently using version 0.23.0

Yeah that does unfortunately seem to be the case, I tried a few things and cannot come up with an example that can actually work.

I might need to add a function something like:

extract_key("networking.interfaces", "bindings")

That then turns the bindings into a more simple array and it can be used that way, but not sure tbh, nightmare structure. I had some functions to dig into this specific structure before but a bit hessitant to put them into choria core and so have a facter structure dependency
