OTOH, RFC 8259 does seem to allow any value type at the toplevel now, so we
might as well support this. I don’t have a strong opinion here. Using RFC
4627 semantics seems a bit safer and more conservative, but given that it’s
considered obsoleted by RFC 8259, maybe we should switch to the semantics of
the newer standard.
