           Summary: std.json: consider JSON5 support
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1

JSON5 is a collection of proposed extensions to JSON that make it easier to
write. It includes:

* support for trailing commas
* unquoted object keys
* comments
* multiline strings
* hexadecimal numbers
* explicit positive signs on integers
* use of single or double quotes

While std.json should only *emit* vanilla JSON, it probably wouldn't break
anything to accept JSON5.
