Sorry, I'm going to have to do a NAK on this work
until the json_XXX() code is fixed to stop returning
(void) on errors.

The longer this sore remains in the code, the more
code we'll have to fix until it's done correctly.

I'm going to NAK anything adding more (void)json_XXX()
calls until this gets fixed.

Jeremy.
