Records to/from JSON

[Brian Goetz]

That glass is indeed half full.

Another glass that is half full: the story of how legacy annotations on 
record components are "pushed down" to where legacy frameworks expect 
them, and everything just works.  She was able to solve her problem by 
putting annotations on the record components, without having to 
redeclare any of the members.  If Jackson gets better later, that's 
great, but even without that, this is success.
