Re: [Json] Update Standard to support ECMA-262 BigInt

As no one else has answered this, my understanding, more as an observer 
than as a key working group member, is that you would have to put such 
large numbers in a string and RFC 8259 doesn't care what you put in 
strings.  Things like dates, durations, IP addresses, geolocations and 
large numbers in strings are beyond its scope.

At some point some work towards a separate RFC on higher level semantics 
for JSON string contents might take place but I'm not aware of any such 
work on the table yet.

HTH,

Pete.
