The standard JSON (not line-delimited) output is an array with
a "null" element as the last element.
I don't really like it, but it seems necessary if we're
doing parallel writes to stdout and JSON doesn't allow
trailing commas.
So I don't think that part is considered part of the stable
output.
Maybe it could be tweaked to show stats, or something else,
I don't know.
Thoughts?

I dunno, it doesn't really bother me, and it seems like a fine solution
to the problem.

I think that's fair enough.

Nothing too useful comes to mind, but if someone does think of
something, substituting it for the trailing null makes sense to me.
Until then, my vote would be to leave the helpful creature be :)
