Description
The following functions would be useful:
- getting the cursor position into a variable
- setting the cursor position from a variable
- getting the parent position into a variable
- getting the path (path) of the current cursor
- getting the name of the current node
- add anonymous strings to arrays
- get the index of an entry being added to an array
JSON isn't necessarily generated in a linear fashion per the source information being parsed to synthesize it. Therefore, being able to randomly access placekeepers in the tree would be useful. Note: it's not clear how to address unnamed objects.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating the cursor, parent-position, path, node-name, and array APIs in the C JSON/tree implementation, then clarify how unnamed objects should behave. Done means the requested convenience operations have defined behavior and coverage for their intended use cases.
