/*
 * KEY=VALUE,... syntax:
 *
 *   key-vals     = [ key-val { ',' key-val } [ ',' ] ]
 *   key-val      = key '=' val
 *   key          = key-fragment { '.' key-fragment }
 *   key-fragment = / [^=,.]* /
 *   val          = { / [^,]* / | ',,' }
 *
 * Semantics defined by reduction to JSON:
 *
 *   key-vals defines a tree of objects rooted at R
 *   where for each key-val = key-fragment . ... = val in key-vals
 *       R op key-fragment op ... = val'
 *       where (left-associative) op is member reference L.key-fragment
 *             val' is val with ',,' replaced by ','
 *   and only R may be empty.
 *
 *   Duplicate keys are permitted; all but the last one are ignored.
 *
 *   The equations must have a solution.  Counter-example: a.b=1,a=2
 *   doesn't have one, because R.a must be an object to satisfy a.b=1
 *   and a string to satisfy a=2.
 *
 * The length of any key-fragment must be between 1 and 127.
 *
 * Design flaw: there is no way to denote an empty non-root object.
 * While interpreting "key absent" as empty object seems natural
 * (removing a key-val from the input string removes the member when
 * there are more, so why not when it's the last), it doesn't work:
 * "key absent" already means "optional object absent", which isn't
 * the same as "empty object present".
 *
 * Additional syntax for use with an implied key:
 *
 *   key-vals-ik  = val-no-key [ ',' key-vals ]
 *   val-no-key   = / [^=,]* /
 *
 * where no-key is syntactic sugar for implied-key=val-no-key.
 *
 * TODO support lists
 * TODO support key-fragment with __RFQDN_ prefix (downstream extensions)
