Partly because some errors currently appeared to come from within FU::PG
itself, which is useless, and partly because it's common to wrap
database access methods, while that's exactly the kind of operation
where you *really* want to know where the error originated from.

Was expecting the implementation of this to get overly complicated and
brittle, but using a counter-based cookie and doing parts of it in Perl
made it pretty easy actually. Pretty happy with how this turned out so
far.
TODO: documentation -.-
This shows I got some optimizing to do. I was expecting integer parsing
to be slower, though, but it looks like it can compete with JSON::XS's
specialized small-int parsing code anyway.
That completes the json_format() function for now. At least, it now does
everything I had planned for it.
Ended up at a bit over 300 LOC. That's larger than I had expected, but
still alright.
Going to need a way to pass arguments into the XS function anyway, so
might as well do the entire arg parsing step in XS while we're at it.
Provides a significant speedup for tiny inputs as well, but I don't find
that too interesting.
It works and can format all "plain" Perl data, but has a few known bugs
and limitations that still need to be worked out.
It's about 8x smaller than JSON::XS's encoder and *much* smaller than
Cpanel::JSON::XS, but this is just a first attempt, it'll grow.
