I could understand providing JSON format, specified using --json
option.

You know, that's actually an interesting idea.  I mentioned it
previously as the not-XML if we want to build on a metaprotocol;

One issue is that there's no stream-parser JSON implementations that
I'm aware of.

Everthing I've seen is in-memory, therefore apt only for memory-bound
operations. Not sure if all commands with -z output options can be
assumed to produce bound-sized datasets.
