Given that it's basically undocumented except in a scattered
handful of comments inside the qjson parser implementation, it's
not too surprising that people misunderstand it :-)
Yes, that's fair.
I added a fair amount of commentary, but it's heavily geared towards
maintainers, not users.
(One surprising
feature: the parser takes ownership of the object that you pass it
via the '%p' interpolation, and will qobject_unref() it.)
Yes, %p takes over the reference.
