Sorry for ugly code, in a hurry. If this is wrong, please feel free to
backhand me.

The json module departs slightly from the spec in that it will allow you 
to consume and produce documents that don't have an array or object 
envelope. This is a feature.

The "Too deep" test case is just a silly thing that crockford's code 
does, there's a fixed limitation for how complex an object could be. 
That's not a regression failure and the spec doesn't say anything about 
a maximum nesting level.

The json module includes all of these in its test suite, although it 
disagrees slightly with crockford on what should pass.

maint/Lib/json/tests/test_fail.py

SKIPS = {
    1: "why not have a string payload?",
    18: "spec doesn't specify any nesting limitations",
}

Fair enough. Thanks.
