When implementing a JSON parser, I found the JSON specification
silent about this and asked for clarification.  Taking the last
value for repeated keys is *NOT* a defined property of JSON nor
is it something you can expect as a de-facto standard.  Some
parsers will take the first value.  Some will take the last one.
Some will raise a sensible exception.  Some a non-sensible one.
