Add @:json via tink_json

[benmerckx]

Would something like this be ok? It makes things easier in tink_web to encode or decode parameters which are json encoded.

Ok, this doesn't work as easy as I had hoped :) TypeCrawler continues crawling the type, resulting in "not implemented" warnings where you might for example want to encode an enum via tink_json.

Closing this in favour of:

I mean I think we could make it so that tink.json.Serialized is a bit easier to use
i.e. it could have a proper @:from cast so that you can just stick in the data
and we could make sure it passes tink_querystring (you'll have to call theJsonField.parse() to get at the actual data)

Can you please open an issue for this though? ^^

Curious, why does it check for a two-dimension array here?

Because it is Array<Array<Expr>>

In short, @:json(12) @:json(true, false) @:json will result in [[12], [true, false], []] so to speak (except that it's expressions, rather than constants).
