When do you expect to ever have to call Clear() on a currently existing
JSONStream?

[Cutch, 2013/07/01 23:33:55]

Possibly never. I can remove this.

Shouldn't this be a private?

[Cutch, 2013/07/01 23:33:55]

Not without a change to OpenObject.  This is needed for outputting child
objects, for example:

OpenObject(); // outputs {
PrintPropertyName("childObject"); // outputs "childObject":
OpenObject(); // outputs {
CloseObject(); // outputs }
CloseObject(); // outputs }

I can make this private and modify OpenObject to take the (optional) name of the
child object.
