14  * KEY=VALUE,... syntax:
15  *
16  *   key-vals     = [ key-val { ',' key-val } [ ',' ] ]
17  *   key-val      = key '=' val | help
18  *   key          = key-fragment { '.' key-fragment }
19  *   key-fragment = / [^=,.]+ /
20  *   val          = { / [^,]+ / | ',,' }
21  *   help         = 'help' | '?'
22  *
23  * Semantics defined by reduction to JSON:
24  *
25  *   key-vals specifies a JSON object, i.e. a tree whose root is an
26  *   object, inner nodes other than the root are objects or arrays,
27  *   and leaves are strings.
28  *
29  *   Each key-val = key-fragment '.' ... '=' val specifies a path from
30  *   root to a leaf (left of '='), and the leaf's value (right of
31  *   '=').
32  *
33  *   A path from the root is defined recursively:
34  *       L '.' key-fragment is a child of the node denoted by path L
35  *       key-fragment is a child of the tree root
36  *   If key-fragment is numeric, the parent is an array and the child
37  *   is its key-fragment-th member, counting from zero.
38  *   Else, the parent is an object, and the child is its member named
39  *   key-fragment.
40  *
41  *   This constrains inner nodes to be either array or object.  The
42  *   constraints must be satisfiable.  Counter-example: a.b=1,a=2 is
43  *   not, because root.a must be an object to satisfy a.b=1 and a
44  *   string to satisfy a=2.
45  *
46  *   Array subscripts can occur in any order, but the set of
47  *   subscripts must not have gaps.  For instance, a.1=v is not okay,
48  *   because root.a[0] is missing.
49  *
50  *   If multiple key-val denote the same leaf, the last one determines
51  *   the value.
52  *
53  * Key-fragments must be valid QAPI names or consist only of decimal
54  * digits.
55  *
56  * The length of any key-fragment must be between 1 and 127.
57  *
58  * If any key-val is help, the object is to be treated as a help
59  * request.
60  *
61  * Design flaw: there is no way to denote an empty array or non-root
62  * object.  While interpreting "key absent" as empty seems natural
63  * (removing a key-val from the input string removes the member when
64  * there are more, so why not when it's the last), it doesn't work:
65  * "key absent" already means "optional object/array absent", which
66  * isn't the same as "empty object/array present".
67  *
68  * Design flaw: scalar values can only be strings; there is no way to
69  * denote numbers, true, false or null.  The special QObject input
70  * visitor returned by qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval() mostly hides
71  * this by automatically converting strings to the type the visitor
72  * expects.  Breaks down for type 'any', where the visitor's
73  * expectation isn't clear.  Code visiting 'any' needs to do the
74  * conversion itself, but only when using this keyval visitor.
75  * Awkward.  Note that we carefully restrict alternate types to avoid
76  * similar ambiguity.
77  *
78  * Alternative syntax for use with an implied key:
79  *
80  *   key-vals     = [ key-val-1st { ',' key-val } [ ',' ] ]
81  *   key-val-1st  = val-no-key | key-val
82  *   val-no-key   = / [^=,]+ / - help
83  *
84  * where val-no-key is syntactic sugar for implied-key=val-no-key.
85  *
86  * Note that you can't use the sugared form when the value contains
87  * '=' or ','.
