If we’re adding comments to json, can we add canonical support for trailing commas?

Oh, a trailing comma? That’s a tuple.

Yeah when the call_func((a,)) is the way to go it is a newbie pain for sure. Remember banging my head on that one.

I’ve spent hours on that, and debugging missing commas between string literals. Even on separate lines you’re not safe from implicit concatenation.
