Thanks. I will push the attached 0001 shortly.

Also, I've updated 0002's commit message to mention why it only
changes the functions local to jsonfuncs.c to add the Node *escontext
parameter, but not any external ones that may be invoked, such as,
makeMdArrayResult(). The assumption behind that is that jsonfuncs.c
functions validate any data that they pass to such external functions,
so no *suppressible* errors should occur.
