And I should mention that there are other ways to consume a bunch of
memory, but I think they're bounded by the size of the JSON file.
Looks like the repalloc()s amplify the JSON size by a factor of ~20
(JS_MAX_PROD_LEN + sizeof(char*) + sizeof(bool)). That may or may not
be enough to be concerned about in the end, since I think it's still
linear, but I wanted to make sure it was known.
