I'm considering using and adapting cJSON instead of continuing with my
redundant implementation. I could run `indent -kr -i4` on it (will
that match PostgreSQL's coding style?), add support for UTF-16
surrogate pairs (pair of \u... escapes for each character above U+FFFF
as required by the JSON spec), and add a switch to turn on/off pure
ASCII output.

P.S.: Sorry for the repeat, David. I forgot to CC the mailing list.
