typeof(false) === "boolean" in JavaScript. There is a boolean 
type in JavaScript. It really should just be "BOOLEAN" in 
std.json.

I don't mean to show off or anything dumb like that, but I 
haven't used std.json for a while after I wrote my own library, 
which I tweaked until it was as efficient as std.json at what it 
does and hopefully bug free. (I have many test cases, and 
anything I missed I'll add more cases for.)

https://github.com/w0rp/dson/blob/master/json.d

JSON x; // x.isNull
x = true; // opAssign is specified in addition to constructors
x = false; // x.type == JSON_TYPE.BOOLEAN or just x.isBool
x = 3; // x.isNumber
x = null; // x.isNull
x = jsonArray(); // x.isArray
x = jsonObject(); // x.isObject

It goes on like that. I think std.json should have similar 
behaviour, because things can be a lot easier.
