I have no idea what this stuff is supposed to do, but by inspection it
treats such arguments as alists and requires that the key be encodable
as a string. Eg this works
(json-encode '((a 2 3))) -> "{\"a\":[2, 3]}"
Your example fails because 1 is encoded as 1, not "1".
Should the answer be "{\"1\":[2, 3]} or "[[1,2,3]]"?
