Comment (by cornedbee):

 I can see the point in making the JSON parser variant-tree-aware. JSON is
 already typed, after all, and the current parser throws away information.

 But all this talk about how to shoehorn INFO into a typed tree doesn't
 make sense to me. INFO is not any official format. It was invented by the
 original PTree author specifically for string ptrees. If you want types,
 then why not just adjust the format to allow type annotations?
