Ahh right.. We could just specially ditch the ,, escape here and start over with
a faithful JSON parser added to which a mere id syntax (i.e. the "ID=" prefix):

    -json "children0=[
                 { 'driver': 'null-co://' },
                 { 'driver': 'null-co://' },
                 { 'driver': 'null-co://' }
             ]" \
