I've found that there's another issue with JSON: string escapes include
\u, but not \U:

 >>> json.dumps('\U0010FFFF')
'"\\udbff\\udfff"'

Yes, it uses surrogate escapes!

Also:

 >>> json.dumps('\uDBFF\uDFFF')
'"\\udbff\\udfff"'

so it won't round-trip.

On the other hand, you probably won't be using pairs of surrogate
escapes in Python 3.3+.
