#1: Please check out the commit adding unit tests: 
http://lists.askmonty.org/pipermail/commits/2021-November/014773.html 
It turns out it is not that hard to add them. Any comments/ways to improve
this?

#2: In the above commit, note that two last unit tests show a scenario that is
not currently checked.

#3:  What is the point of functions Json_writer::on_add_str(), Json_writer::on_start_array, 
Json_writer::on_start_object() ? 
I would understand if all the checking code was isolated in these functions.
But it isn't. Please either remove the functions or explain the reasoning.


#4 See the input below about the commit comment. Please change (feel free to
force-push into the branch after that).


I think this is all the input, and the patch will be ready for pushing once all
of this is addressed.
