This is going to come up with libjson (see
https://github.com/vincenthz/libjson/blob/master/json.h) vs. json.el as
well. And libyaml probably, though that one may get mapped to whatever
we do for JSON anyway. Do we try to keep the existing data mappings or
fit closer to the library's mappings at the C level?
