Nice, thanks!

I got curious and tried to cook up my own little script to use to pass
in JSON and pretty-print it back, used like:

echo '{"subtotal":21.40,"quantity":2,"description":"Foo"}' | js

It worked great, but then I wanted colorized output. I found an existing
CPAN module, App::lj (https://metacpan.org/pod/App::LJ) which provides
an `lj` script to do that same thing.

It uses JSON::Color. However, JSON::Color won't keep integers, but
instead makes them strings. :-( I filed a bug.

Maybe I'll write my own colorization. For now, here's my script:
