It would also be interesting to enter a user-defined class here to work as
a reversed JsonSerializable. Could be a static factory method for all I
care, and would omit the requirement of serialization libraries for
"simple" things where you still want decent object typing. Could also work
together with interfaces accepting properties, effectively making the
result of json_decode an anonymous class that still adheres to an
interface. In case of the custom 'deserialization' you can throw exceptions
if the format is not correct. In the case of an anonymous class with an
interface it could throw an exception if the structure doesn't match
(possibly controlled by flags?).
