Hi Simen,

The video looks great, but the inline patch lacks indentation, and 
doesn't apply (dunno if the former is the cause of the latter). Please 
resend it as an attachment.

Without trying it, my main concern would be any performance regression 
to json-read (it's not particularly fast already). Have you done any 
benchmarking?

Splitting the new changes into new functions might be more optimal.
