[phobos] Plans for std.json

[Sean Kelly]

If there's a tokenizer around, writing a plain old recursive descent SAX style parser is pretty trivial. Heck, I'd be happy to check a json parser for compliance errors and such. I'm just in a weird position for submitting one written from scratch, for work reasons. I like the requirements outlined by andrei though.

I have an my own JSON implementation that I've just started to clean up to Phobos quality. I'm been holding off on cleaning it up mainly because I need it for serialization/de-serialization and I don't want to add a naive JSON serialization routine, just to have std.serialization(?) deprecate it. Also, Sean commented he'd like to have a SAX style JSON parser, which is something I don't have yet.
