The one interesting decision that needs to be made here is how to handle 
CBOR byte strings (major type 3), as they aren't representable in JSON or in 
the current boost::json::value.

I see that Niels Lohmann has added a "binary" 'kind' to the json value for 
this purpose. Which would then invite the opposite question, what's a JSON 
serializer supposed to do with kind_binary.
