Which looks very good.

Comments
* Comment for IDENTIFICATION of json.c says contrib/json/json.c
* json.c contains a duplicate of a line from header file "extern Datum
json_in(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);"

And additionally, a quote from our fine manual...

"Caution: Some XML-related functions may not work at all on non-ASCII
data when the server encoding is not UTF-8. This is known to be an
issue for xpath() in particular." .... so I think this approach works
for JSON too.

Adding tests and docs is a must, nothing else is right now. Once we
have this, others can add the bells and whistles, possibly in 9.2
