IMO, there's no too much need to exhaustively test `json-encode', aside 
from one encode test (with any value), one decode test, and maybe one 
try-to-encode-something-unusual-and-end-up-with-an-error test.

Testing all contents of json-readtable would seem excessive to me. But 
hey, if we miscalculate, we can add more tests as we fix regressions, later.
