Misunderstanding: our JSON interpolation feature is *not* string interpolation! It interpolates *objects* into the QObject built by the parser.
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.
