A `json_decode()` is a substitute that IMO solves 99% of use cases.
If I'd follow your logic and accept every small addition that handles 1% of
use cases, somebody will raise another RFC
for simplexml_validate_string or yaml_validate and the next
PhpToken::validate.
All above can be valid if we trust that people normally validate 300MB
payloads to do nothing if they DON'T fail and there is nothing strange
about that.

Cheers,
