## Instruction

```
The following text contains a user issue (in <issue/> brackets) posted at a repository. Further, you are provided with file contents of several files in the repository that contain relevant code (in <code> brackets). It may be necessary to use code from third party dependencies or files not contained in the attached documents however. Your task is to identify the issue and implement a test case that verifies a proposed solution to this issue. More details at the end of this text.
<issue>
      ### Describe your Issue

(see #3780 for lengthy background discussion)

New `JsonNode.withObject(String)` method added in 2.14 only allows for using String that is valid `JsonPointer` expression. This is different from existing `withArray(String)` method. While I earlier felt that the new behavior is more sensible, avoiding confusion, it seems many users feel otherwise.

As a consequence I think behavior should be changed for 2.16 to allow for "property-or-expression" -- this should be safe (enough) change and along with #4095 solve the issue.

</issue>
Please generate test cases that check whether an implemented solution resolves the issue of the user (at the top, within <issue/> brackets).
You may apply changes to several files.
Apply as much reasoning as you please and see necessary.
Make sure to implement only test cases and don't try to fix the issue itself.
You are not allowed to read git history.
