/// Output stack machine for stringifying JSON as-you-go. This device allows
/// the user to create JSON without knowing the contents when it is first
/// constructed. An object or array is opened and the user can append to the
/// stack creating the members or values or recursing further. The JSON is
/// then closed automatically with exception safety. Partial JSON is written
/// to the buffer as soon as possible.
///
/// The target buffer is not required to maintain earlier output from the same
/// stack or even earlier members and values of the same object or array. The
/// buffer may be smaller than the final JSON output and reused when the user
/// chooses to flush it to some storage or socket. If the buffer becomes full
/// a flush callback is attempted to make space and continue. This can occur
/// while the output is still incomplete JSON.
///
/// The user first creates a master json::stack instance with some reasonable
/// backing buffer. A suite of classes is provided to aid with building the
/// JSON which attach to each other stackfully, and eventually lead to the
/// root. There should only be one "active path" of instances at any given
/// time, ideally following the scope of your code itself. You must force
/// instances to go out of scope to continue at the same recursion depth.
/// This way the json::stack can "follow" your code and "record" the final
/// JSON output while allowing you to free the original resources required
/// for each value.
