Hmm, then we have to introduce NULL into QJson and visitors.
Visitors assume that strings aren't nullable (which is actually true in
JSON and in QString).
I also think that string properties shouldn't be nullable.
Unfortunately, qdev string properties are nullable and there might well be
examples in which empty and NULL are different. I'd rather not risk.
But JSON actually has NULL, so not all is lost. I can introduce a nullable_str
type in visitors (restricting structs and arrays should be fine, though).
I'd really prefer to stick to non-nullable strings as there is no obvious way to
specify NULL in command line options.
What are the uses of null in qdev string properties? I know you can't set a
string to null since parse() doesn't have a null syntax. So we're really just
talking about an uninitialized state, right?
