Perhaps worth documenting is the range of JSON numbers produced by

to support up to UINT64_MAX.

Knowing that qemu sends numbers larger than INT64_MAX with the intent
that they not be truncated/rounded by conversion to double can be a
vital piece of information for implementing a client, when it comes to
picking a particular library for JSON parsing.
Good point. Doesn't really fit into this commit, though. Care to
propose a patch?
Will do, but I'll probably wait for your v2 series to land first.
