Okay, that's quite good! I'm going to see how good this can get with the Python std lib later. Probably not quite this nice.

Actually, I think I was wrong. You can get something this nice in Python. It just requires a bit more glue code in the case of JSON, and a lot more glue code in the case of XML. All told, I figure Python might 10x more code than REBOL here. I'm not sure if it's fair to hold this against Python though. It's "just" a question of libraries. And it's only fair to hold libraries against a language if the library itself would be hard to write. Which in this case I think it wouldn't.
Still neat though. Sometimes I wonder if I should learn REBOL (or Red?) or something.
