I think this proposal makes sense and with regarding to Otar's questions 
regarding naming, I think a single JSON_ALLOW_JSONC flag to allow both 
comments and trailing commas would be the best option. If there's an 
existing, reasonably widely accepted standard for that, we should just 
reference it and not add separate flags that result in a combinatorial 
explosion.
