I applied this patch and tried to break things.

Pre-patch,
{ 'random': tru } => foo.json:1:13: Stray "t"
{ 'random': true } => foo.json:1:13: Stray "t"
{ 'random': truest } => foo.json:1:13: Stray "t"

Post-patch,
{ 'random': tru } => foo.json:1:14: Stray "r"
{ 'random': true } => accepted
{ 'random': truest } => foo.json:1:17: Stray "s"

Not ideal that you are reporting a different stray character based on
how much (1 or 4 bytes) that you tentatively already consumed.  Better
might be to report a stray word (all characters until the next
whitespace, starting at the first bare character rather than mid-word).

Are these cases tested in 3/7?
