Done.

OK.

Note "The arguments".  I was struggling with how to phrase this so I
copied from process.texi:617

   The arguments @var{args} are a list of keyword/argument pairs.

I suppose you prefer "the argument @var{args} is a list", so I changed
it accordingly.

Not quite.  json-parse-string accepts one more argument, object-type,
which json-serialize doesn't.  So while I could refactor the common
part, I think it's not quite worth it yet.

Argh. ETOOMANYTOOS

OK. Good alternative.

OK.

I changed the sentence altogether (and added the period). I think we can
safely specify that output will not contain any JSON false.

Thanks again for reviewing.
Pushed a new version to scratch/allow-custom-null-and-false-objects-in-jsonc
