Principles of JSYNC as understood by sorear

1. JSYNC exists to interchange data.  As such, it should be made as simple to
parse as possible, so that parsers are more likely to be correct.

2. It should be possible to use existing JSON tools to manipulate JSYNC texts.
Therefore, if two texts are semantically equivalent (and thus interchangable)
as JSON, they *must* also be interchangable as JSYNC.

3. JSYNC should be semantically equivalent to YAML.  That means, it needs to
support tags, scalars, mappings, sequences, and recursive structures; but it
does not need to handle anchors or tag aliases in the same way.  More
obviously, things like string escaping and comment handling can be completely
different or nonexistant.
