This is planned in the upgrade to std.json which is currently being 
developed.   However, you'll note that you cannot parse generic JSON 
that way ( since you need a defined type "Person").   The current 
parseJSON is really a different feature from what exists in your 
example, and was implemented before opDispatch was introduced.   C# has 
a similar feature to deserialize JSON into ExpandoObjects, but that's 
also different from your example.
