jsoniopipe is not focused on the `JSONValue` 
[equivalent](https://github.com/schveiguy/jsoniopipe/blob/7d63a2e19ae46a1ae56ccab4c6c872bcce094286/source/iopipe/json/dom.d#L22)

You can see it's pretty basic and just serves as a "catch any 
type" thing.

It could easily be replaced with `std.json.JSONValue`, though I 
like the fact that it's templated on the string type.

The main focus of jsoniopipe is parsing and serialization -- I 
prefer to use real concrete structs/classes rather than variant 
types. In fact, the huge benefit from the library is that there 
is no intermediate type.

But yeah, I could ingest all the functionality from std.json 
there. Or maybe even just use `JSONValue` from std.json. Could 
you make an issue?
