[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 08/10] implement optional lookahead in json lexer

[Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>]

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Not requiring one extra character when lookahead is not necessary
ensures that clients behave properly even if they, for example,
send QMP requests without a trailing newline.
