Prompted by a recent discussion about JSON, I started to "boostify" my
JSON parser. This is still work-in-progress (mostly lacking on the
documentation side), but the (input and output) archives are working
just fine.

I am considering proposing this as part of a Boost.Protocol component,
that besides the JSON stuff also can serve as a home for other wire or
file protocols, such as MessagePack, CBOR, and s-expressions. There
should be Boost.Serialization archives (and possibly Boost.Fusion
support) for all protocols.
