One of the limitations of JSON patch that causes me problems in practice is that I can't add to an array if it isn't there and I also can't add the array without blowing away any existing array. [Perhaps there is a way of doing this that I don't know.]
I noticed that it is trivial to modify the code to allow '/foo/-' to create the array if it's not there. I understand that implementing non-standard extensions to JSON patch is going to create a lot of resistence, but it does make it a lot more useful. So I thought I'd see what the reaction to the idea was.
