Quiz time!  When a parser reports multiple errors, but the user gets
to see just one, which one is (on average) the least useful one?

:)


Reproducer: feeding

     {"abc\xC2ijk": 1}\n

to QMP produces

     {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "JSON parse error, key is not a 
string in object"}}

Report the first error instead.  The reproducer now produces

     {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "JSON parse error, invalid UTF-8 
sequence in string"}}

Yes, definite improvement.
