How about...

    foo: yes  # "foo": true
    bar: YEs  # "bar": "YEs"
    baz: YES  # "baz": true

Yeah, that's a little crazy. It's the classic case of in-band signalling. It never works. I wish quotes around strings were mandatory, then having 83 ways to say "true" would be OK. But when strings randomly get upgraded to other primitive types... it's a little weird.
