Useful for manipulating such output. Though I haven’t quite got my head

 Ah, sorry, I didn’t notice you said “jc” instead of “jq” ...

I noticed it a couple of months ago when you were discussing the --json flag of the ip utility.
I'm not sure how useful it will be in practice. You still have the potential problem of confusing text data and code. So if you want to write something robust, it is probably best to use a proper language/api.
