I've been poking at the various json-query syntaxes you forwarded, and
none of them really work for the actual jsquery features.  Also, the
existing syntax has the advantage of being *simple*, relatively
speaking, and reasonably similar to JSONPATH.

In other words, what I'm saying is: I don't think there's an existing,
poplular syntax we could reasonably use.
