  Description     : JSON with comments for Go!

 JSONC is a superset of JSON which supports comments.  JSON formatted 
 files are readable to humans but the lack of comments decreases
 readability.  With JSONC, you can use block (/* */) and single line (//)
 comments to describe the functionality.  Microsoft VS Code also uses     
 this format in their configuration files like settings.json,
 keybindings.json, launch.json, etc.
 .
 What this package offers
 .
 "JSONC for Go" offers ability to convert and unmarshal JSONC to pure  
 JSON.  It also provides functionality to read JSONC file from disk and
 return JSONC and corresponding JSON encoding to operate on.  However, it
 only provides a one-way conversion.  That is, you can not generate JSONC
 from JSON.  Read documentation (DOCUMENTATION.md) for detailed examples.

Reason for packaging: Needed by GitHub CLI (gh), see #951374
