 * Hjson - "the Human JSON - A configuration file format that 
 * caters to humans and helps reduce the errors they make"
 * See also: http://hjson.org/
 *
 * I wanted to see if we can use Nashorn Parser API (jdk9) to support
 * similar flexible JSON extension with #nashorn. In this FlexiJSON.parse
 * implementation, Nashorn Parser API is used to validate that the 
 * extendable flexi JSON is "data only" (i.e., no executable code) and
 * then 'eval'ed to make an object out of it.
 *
 * FlexiJSON allows the following:
 *
 *   * single and mutliple line comments anywhere
 *   * non-quoted property names and values
 *   * regexp literal values
 *   * omitting trailing comma
 *
 * When nashorn -scripting mode is enabled, FlexiJSON supports these
 * as well:
 *
 *   * shell style # comments
 *   * multiple line (Unix heredoc style) string values
