Thats not a problem. What I dont like is to have two formats for one
thing. I don't care which one will be used (OK I maybe prefere JSON
because of tooling and SDL because of syntax :)), but there should be
only one format. Having more formats complicates everything.

1) You have to describe both variants

2) People using dub probably need to know both formats

3) When writing some tool or IDE you need to support both variants (no
dub describe does not solve this)

Btw. when your book will be published? :)
