JSON's syntax is a subset of the JavaScript syntax, so I think it would
make sense. On the other hand, the JSON syntax is very simple, and
js-mode currently uses cc-mode to produce a syntax table which contains
much more than json-mode needs, so maybe it's OK to just define what we
need in json-mode. What do you think?
