Hi Everyone,

I spent the day researching how maps/multimaps are converted to JSON by
various programming languages and libraries. You can read my findings here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hCbteMD2RbX6qVQpV8QOwP5j_VIgwyxziNXZPRJ0yd8/edit?usp=sharing

Among the "mainstream" programming languages, multimaps don't seem popular
outside of C++, requiring implementations from third-party libraries or
that Dictionary<Key, List<Value>> be used instead.

Next step is for me to analyze the complexity of encoding/decoding the
various AList, MList, etc schemes proposed by Carsten.

Cheers,
Emile Cormier
