It doesn't seem to fit with the current mission, which is not to extend
JSON but to clarify the spec and add warnings about compatibility issues.
There are a whole mess of common extensions I'd rather do before I do
this.  For one thing, JSON numbers aren't self-delimiting, though strings
and true/false/null are.

It was dreary and wearisome.  Cold clammy winter still held sway in this
forsaken country.  The only green was the scum of livid weed on the dark
greasy surfaces of the sullen waters.  Dead grasses and rotting reeds loomed
up in the mists like ragged shadows of long-forgotten summers.
