It's 36k, and pulling it in gives the opportunity to customize it.  For 
example, the attached patch allows to parse a "%BLAH" extension to JSON 
that is passed to the callback (since the parsing is done 
character-by-character, the callback can consume whatever it wants after 
the % sign).  Asprintf+parse JSON unfortunately isn't enough because 
you'd need to escape all strings.
