If this is an official upgrade -- to no longer support comments -- then
I'll write myself a file-to-stream comment stripper and pass the stream to
read_json.

As a consumer of JSON and Boost it seems like a poor choice to drop
something that is so useful and has been supported for so long.

Thanks for the information though.  Mark
