         //j["x"] = null;
         destroy(j["x"]);
     }

What's the proper way to delete a node from a JSONValue object?

I was looking for something like remove("x") that you can do with 
an associative array, but std.json doesn't provide that. Setting 
the node to null or using destroy doesn't actually remove the 
node so that it's not serialized when using toJSON().

Here the right way:
j.object.remove("x");

I found std.json syntax a bit strange, so I wrote a wrap over 
std.json to add a bit of syntax sugar:

Thanks. I'll check it out.
