	// We reuse RuneTypes to store the stack.  The base idea is:
	// stack items are "the most recently read stack-relevant
	// RuneType".
	//
	// The stack starts out with the special pseudo-RuneType
	// `runeTypeAny` that means we're willing to accept any
	// element type; an empty stack means that we have reached the
	// end of the top-level element and should accept no more
	// input except for whitespace.
	//
	// The "normal" stack-relevant RuneTypes are:
	//
	//   "\uABC    for strings
	//   -01.2e+3  for numbers
	//   𝕥𝕣𝕦       for "true"
	//   𝔣𝔞𝔩𝔰      for "false"
	//   ⓝⓤⓛ       for "null"
	//
	// Objects and arrays break the "most recently read RuneType"
	// rule; they need some special assignments:
	//
	//   {   object: waiting for key to start or '}'
	//   »   object: reading key / waiting for colon
	//   o   object: reading value / waiting for ',' or '}'
	//
	//   [   array: waiting for item to start or ']'
	//   a   array: reading item / waiting for ',' or ']'
	//   ]   array: waiting for item to start
	//
	// Within each element type, the stack item is replaced, not pushed.
	//
	// (Keep each of these examples in-sync with parse_test.go.)
	//
	// For example, given the input string
	//
	//   {"x":"y","a":"b"}
	//
	// The stack would be
	//
	//   stack   processed
	//   ?
	//   {       {
	//   »"      {"
	//   »"      {"x
