I think the way to do this is completely getting rid of the manual JSON
creation, but I don't see that we are going to do this any time soon. A
majority of the keys is either only used in a single handler (+ test) or simply
identical to the String that it refers to. I understand that is sucks to go
through every handler and test again, but this is an unrelated change to begin
with. I agree that there can be a problem with inconsistencies etc., but I
don't see how this solves it (except for what you said with hoping to make it
easier to catch).
