@brief JSON for Modern C++
The size of a JSON object is 16 bytes: 8 bytes for the value union whose
largest item is a pointer type and another 8 byte for an element of the
type union. The latter only needs 1 byte - the remaining 7 bytes are wasted
due to alignment.
@see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7758580/writing-your-own-stl-container/7759622#7759622
@bug Numbers are currently handled too generously. There are several formats
that are forbidden by the standard, but are accepted by the parser.
@todo Implement json::insert(), json::emplace(), json::emplace_back, json::erase
@todo Implement json::reverse_iterator, json::const_reverse_iterator,
json::rbegin(), json::rend(), json::crbegin(), json::crend()?
