Add Comments to json variables (the fix code I added)

[vruzin]

https://github.com/stylus/stylus/blob/dev/lib/functions/json.js

change line 54-55

  var json = JSON.parse(readFile(found, 'utf8'));

on

 // read
  var json = readFile(found, 'utf8');

  // remove comments from json
  json = json.replace(/((["'])(?:\\[\s\S]|.)*?\2|\/(?![*\/])(?:\\.|\[(?:\\.|.)\]|.)*?\/)|\/\/.*?$|\/\*[\s\S]*?\*\//gm,'$1');
  json = JSON.parse(json);

it's work in:

$Opt=json('Variables.json', { hash: true })

Variables.json:

{
   "color1:"#ffffff", // Primary color
   // Secondary color
   "color2":"#000000",
   /* new color */
   "color3":"#999999"
}

Or better version:

https://github.com/stylus/stylus/blob/dev/lib/functions/json.js

replace line 55

var json = JSON.parse(readFile(found, 'utf8'));

on

var json = JSON5.parse(readFile(found, 'utf8'));

and add line after line 2:

, JSON5 = require('json5')

and in console:

npm install json5

and you can add JSON5 in package.json file

Did you mean support jsonc ? Json with comment is not valid json file, I think it's out of scope, but discussion is ok.
