/*
 * KEY=VALUE,... syntax:
 *
 *   key-vals     = [ key-val { ',' key-val } [ ',' ] ]
 *   key-val      = key '=' val
 *   key          = key-fragment { '.' key-fragment }
 *   key-fragment = / [^=,.]* /
 *   val          = { / [^,]* / | ',,' }
 *
 * Semantics defined by reduction to JSON:
 *
 *   key-vals specifies a JSON object, i.e. a tree whose root is an
 *   object, inner nodes other than the root are objects or arrays,
 *   and leaves are strings.
 *
 *   Each key-val = key-fragment '.' ... '=' val specifies a path from
 *   root to a leaf (left of '='), and the leaf's value (right of
 *   '=').
 *
 *   A path from the root is defined recursively:
 *       L '.' key-fragment is a child of the node denoted by path L
 *       key-fragment is a child of the tree root
 *   If key-fragment is numeric, the parent is an array and the child
 *   is its key-fragment-th member, counting from zero.
 *   Else, the parent is an object, and the child is its member named
 *   key-fragment.
 *
 *   This constrains inner nodes to be either array or object.  The
 *   constraints must be satisfiable.  Counter-example: a.b=1,a=2 is
 *   not, because root.a must be an object to satisfy a.b=1 and a
 *   string to satisfy a=2.
 *
 *   Array subscripts can occur in any order, but the set of
 *   subscripts must not have gaps.  For instance, a.1=v is not okay,
 *   because root.a[0] is missing.
 *
 *   If multiple key-val denote the same leaf, the last one determines
 *   the value.
 *
 * Key-fragments must be valid QAPI names or consist only of decimal
 * digits.
 *
 * The length of any key-fragment must be between 1 and 127.
 *
 * Design flaw: there is no way to denote an empty array or non-root
 * object.  While interpreting "key absent" as empty seems natural
 * (removing a key-val from the input string removes the member when
 * there are more, so why not when it's the last), it doesn't work:
 * "key absent" already means "optional object/array absent", which
 * isn't the same as "empty object/array present".
 *
 * Design flaw: scalar values can only be strings; there is no way to
 * denote numbers, true, false or null.  The special QObject input
 * visitor returned by qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval() mostly hides
 * this by automatically converting strings to the type the visitor
 * expects.  Breaks down for type 'any', where the visitor's
 * expectation isn't clear.  Code visiting 'any' needs to do the
 * conversion itself, but only when using this keyval visitor.
 * Awkward.  Note that we carefully restrict alternate types to avoid
 * similar ambiguity.
 *
 * Additional syntax for use with an implied key:
 *
 *   key-vals-ik  = val-no-key [ ',' key-vals ]
 *   val-no-key   = / [^=,]* /
 *
 * where no-key is syntactic sugar for implied-key=val-no-key.
