I'm not sure I see the point of keeping json.h split from jsonapi.h. It
seems to me that you could move back all the contents from jsonapi.h
into json.h, and everything would work just as well. (Evidently the
Datum in JsonEncodeDateTime's proto is problematic ... perhaps putting
that prototype in jsonfuncs.h would work.)

I don't really object to your 0001 patch as posted, though.
