The use case makes sense to me, but I would go with updating the docs
rather then the API.  The current wording could use some love as it's
refereed to as JSON object or plist (at different functions).  When it
should be plist or vector, where we could throw in a link to the
specification.

I am not for signaling an error or similar as it's a breaking change in
my book, which does not seam called for in this case.
