encoding/json: handle anonymous fields

[rsc]

Should handle anonymous fields like package xml: at top level of struct.
Right now, disabled so that people do not depend on other behaviors.

I have a very simple patch (less than 10 extra lines, aside from testing code) that does
this. Any interest?

No, not so close to Go 1.  The APIs are set for now.  Thanks, though.

Comment 5:

Feel free to use my fork, but it's not something that could go into the core libs as is.
It only focuses on the one case that was relevant to my needs - would probably need a
bit of reworking to be more general.
