Something that represents JSON and YAML well would be nice. Currently
we don't have an ELisp data structure that can preserve all JSON nuances
without acrobatics (e.g. preserving the difference between "null" and
"empty list" or the native JSON data types).
I know about json.el and it's very convenient but not enough.
A native XML data structure would also be nice. We have what libxml
produces, dumped in an awkward tree, but nothing native.
