Given that it's basically undocumented except in a scattered
handful of comments inside the qjson parser implementation, it's
not too surprising that people misunderstand it :-) (One surprising
feature: the parser takes ownership of the object that you pass it
via the '%p' interpolation, and will qobject_unref() it.)
