Comment:

 JSON doesn't support comments.  It's unfortunate, but if something like
 this were to be put in place, theme.json would not be interoperable JSON.
 When someone sees the `.json` extension they assume it is JSON that can be
 parsed and worked with as JSON. That isn't something I think we should
 break. As such, i think this should be closed as `wontfix`.

 If an individual or team is facing challenges here, I think it might be
 better for them to use something like [https://github.com/komkom/jsonc
 jsonc] and to have a build process convert it to json.
