Title: added json_get() function, to parse JavaScript-stype identifiers

is as described. returns a 'borrowed' reference, perhaps you would prefer two variants - one to return a borrowed, the other to acquire a new reference.

If you like the function / want to include it, I would be happy to add to the documentation.
