To be honest, I'd rather fix the documentation, and avoid increasing
code complexity in the lack of clear use case. It's always possible to
merge multiple jsons into one with a simple python script. This would
also keep things consistent with the 'multiple sets of sources in
json' idea, where you'd only pick one of them.
