/*~ Greetings adventurer!
 *
 * Do you want to automatically validate json input and unmarshal it into
 * local variables, all using typesafe callbacks?  And on error,
 * call command_fail with a proper error message? Then you've come to the
 * right place!
 *
 * Here is a simple example of using the system:
 *
 * 	unsigned *cltv;
 * 	u64 *msatoshi;
 * 	const jsmntok_t *note;
 * 	u64 *expiry;
 *
 * 	if (!param(cmd, buffer, params,
 * 		   p_req("cltv", json_tok_number, &cltv),
 * 		   p_opt("msatoshi", json_tok_u64, &msatoshi),
 * 		   p_opt("note", json_tok_tok, &note),
 * 		   p_opt_def("expiry", json_tok_u64, &expiry, 3600),
 * 		   NULL))
 * 		return;
 *
 * If param() returns true then you're good to go.
 *
 * All the command handlers throughout the code use this system.
 * json_invoice() is a great example.  The common callbacks can be found in
 * common/json_tok.c.  Use them directly or feel free to write your own.
