Behavior question: do we want to index json as other files when runnning layout with use_schema=false #250

It was suggested by @arnodelorme in here

Then will it be possible to get json files only if they are not metadada for data? A json file will be created for each file in derivative, then to do query I will need to add 'extention', '.nii' each time.

Also, if he want to get metadata json, they can be retrived with query('metafiles')

Are there any decisions related to that?

I keep thinking about this and I am more and more tempted to not index json even for schemaless datasets. I think we will go with behavior for the first release.
