to-json() doesn't comply with newest JSON spec #9

Closed zoffixznet closed 8 years ago

zoffixznet commented 8 years ago

The newest JSON spec—contrary to previous versions—does allow non-object/array things at the top level. Reference: http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159#rfc.section.2 (second paragraph, especially). This module's from-json, however, displays an error when attempting to decode JSON conforming to this newest spec: 

$ perl6 -MJSON::Fast -e 'say from-json "42"'
a JSON string ought to be a list or an object
