/*******************************************************************************

        Parse json text into a set of inter-related structures. Typical 
        usage is as follows:
        ---
        auto json = new Json!(char);
        json.parse (`{"t": true, "n":null, "array":["world", [4, 5]]}`);    
        ---   

        Converting back to text format employs a delegate. This one emits 
        document content to the console:
        ---
        json.print ((char[] s) {Stdout(s);}); 
        ---

        Constructing json within your code leverages a handful of factories 
        within a document instance. This example creates a document from an 
        array of values:
        ---
        auto json = new Json!(char);

        // [true, false, null, "text"]
        with (json)
              value = array (true, false, null, "text");
        ---

        Setting the document to contain a simple object instead:
        ---
        // {"a" : 10}
        with (json)
              value = object (pair("a", value(10)));
        ---

        Objects may be constructed with multiple attribute pairs like so:
        ---
        // {"a" : 10, "b" : true}
        with (json)
              value = object (pair("a", value(10)), pair("b", value(true)));
        ---

        Substitute arrays, or other objects as values where appropriate:
        ---
        // {"a" : [10, true, {"b" : null}]}
        with (json)
              value = object (pair("a", array(10, true, object(pair("b")))));
        ---

        TODO: document how to extract content

        Big thanks to dhasenan for suggesting the construction notation. We
        can't make effective use of operator-overloading, due to the use of
        struct pointers, so this syntax turned out to be the next best thing.
