It would be nice if we could avoid writing to a file and then reading it
back, perhaps by having a variant of =E2=80=98load*=E2=80=99 that takes an =
sexp instead
of a file name.  (That could also allow us to improve error reporting
because we could attach source properties to the sexp that match the
original JSON file.)
