Embedded spaces not working.

Great tool, thanks! I ran into an issue trying to do this:

$ jo -p name=david address=$(jo street="101 Main St")
Argument `Main' is neither k=v nor k@v
Argument `St"}' is neither k=v nor k@v
{
   "name": "david",
   "address": "{\"street\":\"101"
}

Tried to escape the space, etc. but nothing worked.

This works as expected:

$ jo -p name=david address[street]="101 Main St"

Seems like there should be a way to make it work with the recursive style.

It's not so much a recursive style issue than a shell quoting issue. I think you'll find this works:

$ jo -p name=david address="$(jo street="101 Main St")"
{
   "name": "david",
   "address": {
      "street": "101 Main St"
   }
}

Too easy. Thanks!
