In and of itself, I feel my std.json patch is ready for review and I've  
posted the docs/code to the phobos list for preliminary review. The major  
issue holding a formal review up is that it is now dependent on a patch to  
std.variant which has suffered scope creep and tertiary bugs. As the  
review queue has had higher priority items in it and there has been little  
community interest in either module, I've put the final polishing of  
std.variant on the back burner. But as the queue is temporarily empty,  
I'll look over my code tomorrow and see if I can't get variant ready for  
review.
