But wouldn't it be nice to have a generic JSON parser with an iterator 
based interface than can pull from a JSON data source; with a utility 
translator that can fill an std::map(or hash_map) and std::vector with 
key/values and values of boost::any(or equivalent) kind; that then 
property_tree could use be much nicer :-) Especially since it then would 
be possible for Boost Serialization to also use the same parser.
