Spirit2 has unicode support. I'll most probably write a robust
JSON parser very soon. It will play along perfectly with the
S-expression example and the universal-tree AST (utree) Hartmut
and I have been tinkering with for the past BoostCon.

Our current goal is to 1) ease the learning curve 2) provide
a clear and easy development cycle for incremental development.
A JSON parser would be a good candidate for a proof of concept
towards that goal.
