I think it's a decision we could walk back if we had a good enough
reason, but it would be nicer if we didn't have to, because what we
have right now is working. If we change it for no real reason, we
might introduce new bugs, and at least in theory, incompatibility with
third-party tools that parse the existing format. If you think we can
live with the additional complexity in the JSON parsing stuff, I'd
rather go that way.
