A while ago Robert Jacques (if I remember who it was correctly) indicated that 
he had a major rewrite of std.json, but it required an overhaul of std.variant 
(which he'd also done), so that would have needed to be done first. However, he 
never got any of it ready for review. IIRC, he felt that needed to polish some 
stuff up before that, and he doesn't appear to ever have done it. So, I have no 
idea where that stands now. He's still around and posts at least from time to 
time, but maybe he just doesn't have time to work on D right now. I don't 
know.
