Exactly. Here's the official web page complete with nice graphics 
detailing the grammar: http://json.org/. I've read the JSON RFC 
before, but I can't remember what it says about whitespace within 
a basic value, but the graphics here make it very clear that 
whitespace does *not* belong inside a value.

The real question is, is this worth fixing before std.serialize 
makes it in? There will likely be other bugs once/if that's 
accepted. I tried extending std.json in the past with static 
reflection, but that didn't make it in for this very reason.
