Report one-character non-numeric array indices like basic_json in the view

Develop's #5800 made basic_json report a JSON pointer array index such as "/a" as parse_error.109 instead of out_of_range.404, as longer ones were; the view's array_index() follows, with "-" and the empty token still unresolved. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

-### `nlohmann_json.natvis`
-
-The [Natvis](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/create-custom-views-of-native-objects) file that
-gives `json` values a friendly view in the Visual Studio debugger. The file is generated by
-`tools/generate_natvis/generate_natvis.py` from the template `tools/generate_natvis/nlohmann_json.natvis.j2` and the ABI
-tags and version in `include/nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp`; change the script or the template rather than editing
-the file by hand. The file can be updated by calling
-
-```shell
-make natvis
-```
-
-The "Check amalgamation" workflow fails if the file is out of date.
-
-The file covers the namespace variants with up to two ABI tags. A Natvis file for other configurations can be
-generated with the `--abi-tags` or `--all` options, for example
-`make natvis NATVIS_ARGS="--abi-tags _diag,_dp,_vns --output my_nlohmann_json.natvis"`; see
-[`tools/generate_natvis`](tools/generate_natvis/README.md). With MSVC, CMake adds the file to the `nlohmann_json`
-target and installs it.

-                             const basic_json& target);
-```
-
-Creates a [JSON Merge Patch](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396) so that value `source` can be changed into the value
-`target` by calling the [`merge_patch`](merge_patch.md) function. The patch contains only what differs: changed and
-added members with their new values, and removed members with the value `#!json null`. Nested objects are compared
-member by member; any other value that differs, including an array, is replaced as a whole.
-
-For two JSON values `source` and `target`, where `target` contains no object member whose value is `#!json null`, the
-following code always yields `#!cpp true` (for [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), see the notes below):
-```cpp
-basic_json patched = source;
-patched.merge_patch(merge_diff(source, target));
-patched == target;
-```
-
-## Parameters
-
-`source` (in)
-:   JSON value to compare from
-
-`target` (in)
-:   JSON value to compare against
-
-## Return value
-
-a JSON Merge Patch to convert the `source` to `target`
-
-## Exception safety
-
-Strong guarantee: `source` and `target` are never modified.
-
-## Complexity
-
-Linear in the total number of values (including nested ones) in `source` and `target`, times the cost of a key-based
-object operation (looking up a key, or adding one to the patch): logarithmic for [`json`](../json.md), and linear for
-[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md) (see [`ordered_map` complexity](../ordered_map.md#complexity)). For
-`ordered_json`, diffing two objects with `n` and `m` members therefore takes O((n+m)²).
-
-## Notes
-
- A merge patch uses `#!json null` to remove a member, so it cannot set a member to `#!json null`. As in RFC 7396, a
-  `#!json null` member of `target` is treated as absent: the patch removes the member from `source` instead of setting
-  it to `#!json null`. A member that is `#!json null` in both `source` and `target` is unchanged and left out of the
-  patch, so `source` keeps it.
- A merge patch cannot reorder object members, and [`merge_patch`](merge_patch.md) appends added members at the end.
-  For [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), the patched value therefore has the same members as `target`, but not
-  necessarily in the same order, and may compare unequal to it. The patch lists changed and removed members in the
-  order of `source`, followed by added members in the order of `target`.
-
-## Examples
-
-??? example

-    The following code shows how a JSON Merge Patch is created as a diff for two JSON values.

-
-    [`basic_json_document::parse`](../basic_json_document/parse.md) accepts the same inputs and the same options, but
-    keeps the result as a flat index of the parsed values instead of a tree of `basic_json` values. It is faster and uses

-    which `parse()` does not. See [Zero-copy JSON views](../../features/json_view.md).
-
-!!! tip "Performance"
-
-    Contiguous inputs (strings, string views, vectors, arrays, pointer ranges) are the fastest to parse. A
-    `#!cpp std::istream` comes close: the parser scans the characters its stream buffer holds in bulk, without reading
-    ahead, so the stream is left exactly where it would be after reading one character at a time. A `#!cpp FILE*` is
-    read one character at a time, but the file is locked only once, so other threads that use the same `FILE` object

-
-!!! info "Duplicate keys"
-
-    Overload 1. removes *every* member with `key`, not just the first -- unlike [`set`](set.md), which assigns the
-    first occurrence and drops the rest. This is why it returns a count rather than a single view: there may be
-    more than one member removed, or none.
-
-Like [`set`](set.md) and [`push_back`](push_back.md), `erase` never moves an element's *value*: a view still
-referring to a removed member or element keeps showing what it last held (see [Edits](index.md#edits)) -- it just no
-longer appears when `array`/`object` is read, dumped, or iterated. What does change is the container's sequence of
-*links* to its elements: removing an element of `array` (2.) shifts the links to the elements after it by one, as
-[`insert`](insert.md) does in the other direction. *Every* iterator already taken over `array`/`object` is invalidated
-by an erase, not only those at or after the removed element, since the container may now use a different sequence.

-
-An editable document (`#!cpp Editable == true`) can be changed after parsing, with [`set`](set.md),

-[`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md) and
-[`ordered_json_editable_document`](../ordered_json_editable_document.md) are the corresponding specializations. A few
-points apply to every edit:
-
- **The source text is never written**, and the parsed index never moves: every value keeps the node it was parsed
-  into, so [views](../basic_json_view/index.md) taken before an edit stay valid, including
-  [`root()`](root.md). New values (and the element sequences of an edited array/object) go to storage owned by the
-  document, allocated on demand.
- **A view keeps referring to the same value.** After [`set`](set.md) replaces the value a view refers to, that view
-  sees the new value; a view of a value that a later edit replaces or drops keeps showing what it last held. An edit
-  of an array or object, however, **invalidates the iterators taken over it** (its members may now live in a
-  different sequence), and a string obtained with [`get_string()`](../basic_json_view/get_string.md) stays valid even
-  as further edits happen (earlier buffers of edited text are kept alive, not overwritten).
- **Values are accepted three ways:** a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any* document
-  (read-only or editable; it is copied, nothing is shared with the source document), a `BasicJsonType` value, or
-  anything `BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers, strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
- [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) writes an edited document with members in document order, new members at
-  the end, and, with [`number_format::source`](../basic_json_view/number_format.md), keeps the spelling of every
-  number that was not itself edited -- see [Editing a document](../../features/json_view.md#editing-a-document) for
-  why this matters.
- [`read()`](read.md) discards all edits, [`shrink_to_fit()`](shrink_to_fit.md) does not move the node index once
-  there are edits, and [`memory_usage()`](memory_usage.md) includes the memory edits use.
-  [`source_offset()`](../basic_json_view/source_offset.md) of a value introduced by an edit is
-  `#!cpp static_cast<std::size_t>(-1)`, the same value it reports for a decoded string.

-## Template parameters
-
-`I`
-:   an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
-    `idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
-
-`V`
-:   the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
-
-## Parameters
-
-`array` (in)
-:   the array to insert into
-
-`idx` (in)
-:   the position to insert `value` before; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
-
-`value` (in)
-:   the value to insert
-
-## Return value
-
-a view of the new element, now holding `value`
-
-## Exception safety
-
-Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
-before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
-invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
-for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while `array` switches from its parsed
-layout to a growable block, or while that block grows, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave `array` already
-switched to that layout even though `value` itself was not inserted.
-
-## Exceptions
-
-Throws [`type_error.309`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error309) if `array` is not an array -- the same
-message [`BasicJsonType::insert`](../basic_json/insert.md) throws for the same type; a null `array` throws this too
-(see above). Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is negative,
-or if `#!cpp idx > array.size()`. Throws
-[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
-document") if `array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a *different* document.
-Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if `value` is a
-[discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md) `BasicJsonType`
-value, and [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or contains) a
-binary value -- `BasicJsonType` can hold one, but a `json_document` cannot. Throws
-[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `value` is (or contains) a string that is
-not valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
-
-## Complexity
-
-Linear in the number of elements of `array` at or after `idx` (they move one slot over), plus time linear in the
-size of `value` to encode it into the document's storage (constant for a scalar, linear in the number of nested
-values for an array or object): like [`push_back`](push_back.md), the elements of `array` move to a growable block
-of links the first time it is inserted into (or [`set`](set.md)/[`push_back`](push_back.md) on), and that block
-grows in amortized constant time; inserting before the end within that block still shifts every later element.
-
-## Notes
-
-Like [`set`](set.md) on a member or an element, `insert` never moves an existing *element's value* -- only where
-`array`'s *links* to its elements live -- so a view of an existing element of `array` stays valid across an
-`insert`, and keeps referring to the same element even though its index shifts. Any iterator already taken over
-`array` is invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See [Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across
-an edit in general.
-
-## Examples
-
-??? example
-
-    The example below inserts a step into the middle of a deployment plan, without touching the steps that come
-    after it, and shows that a view taken before the insert keeps referring to the same element even though its

-# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>load
-
-```cpp
-// (1)
-static basic_json_document load(const std::uint8_t* image, std::size_t size,
-                                 const image_check check = image_check::full);
-
-// (2)
-static basic_json_document load(const std::vector<std::uint8_t>& image,
-                                 const image_check check = image_check::full);
-
-// (3)
-static basic_json_document load(std::vector<std::uint8_t>&& image,
-                                 const image_check check = image_check::full);
-```
-
-1. Reads an image [`save()`](save.md) wrote, from a pointer and a byte count. The image is **borrowed**: `image`
-   must stay alive and unchanged for as long as the returned document, and any view taken from it, is used.
-2. Reads an image from a `#!cpp std::vector`. Also **borrowed** -- equivalent to overload 1 called with
-   `#!cpp image.data()` and `#!cpp image.size()`.
-3. Reads an image, keeping the vector instead of copying it: `image` is moved into the document (no copy), which
-   then owns it for as long as it needs the text and the decoded strings. [`owns_source()`](owns_source.md) is
-   `#!cpp true` afterward.
-
-In every overload, the node index is copied into storage the document itself owns -- so that it is properly aligned,
-and, for an [editable](index.md#edits) document, can be edited -- while the text and the decoded strings stay in
-`image`. The hash indexes [large objects](../../features/json_view.md) use for lookup are rebuilt, exactly as after
-parsing.
-
-## Parameters
-
-`image` (in)
-:   the image [`save()`](save.md) wrote (overloads 1 and 2), or one to take ownership of (overload 3)
-
-`size` (in)
-:   the number of bytes at `image` (overload 1)
-
-`check` (in)
-:   how thoroughly to validate `image` before trusting it; see [`image_check`](#image_check) below (optional,
-    `#!cpp image_check::full` by default)
-
-## Return value
-
-The document read from the image.
-
-## Exception safety
-
-Overloads 1 and 2 give the strong guarantee: `image` is only read, never written, so a thrown exception leaves the
-caller's buffer untouched.
-
-Overload 3 moves `image` into the document *before* validating it, so that a good image is kept without a copy. If
-loading then fails, the partially built document -- and the vector now inside it -- is discarded along with the
-exception, and `image` itself is left **empty**, not restored to what was passed in. Move a copy in instead, or
-validate with overload 2 first, if the original vector must survive a failed load.
-
-## Exceptions
-
-On a big-endian target, throws [`type_error.320`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error320) -- the same
-exception [`save()`](save.md#exceptions) throws there, since the image format is little-endian only.
-
-Otherwise throws [`parse_error.116`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error116) if `image` is not one
-`save()` could have written, or fails the requested `check`:
-
-| message               | when                                                                                                |
-|------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| `too short`            | `image` is `#!cpp nullptr`, or `size` is smaller than the 64-byte header                             |
-| `unknown format`       | the header's magic bytes or version do not match, or a reserved header field is not zero             |
-| `sizes out of range`   | the node count, text size, or decoded-string size the header describes does not fit `size`, or the `#!cpp '\0'` after the text or after the decoded strings is missing |
-| `the check failed`     | `check` is not `#!cpp image_check::none`, and the image fails it -- see [`image_check`](#image_check) |

-
-## Complexity
-
-Linear in the number of nodes, which are always copied into the document. `#!cpp image_check::none` does not read
-the text or the decoded strings. `#!cpp image_check::bounds` reads one byte of the text for each float token (its sign,
-to check the recorded digits against the token's length), and nothing else of the text or the decoded strings.
-
-With `#!cpp image_check::full`, linear in the size of the image (the nodes, the text, and the decoded strings), plus
-sorting the ranges of the strings and of the float tokens (at most one per node): the contents of each distinct range
-are checked once, however many nodes refer to it.
-
-## Notes
-
-### `image_check` { #image_check }
-
-```cpp
-using image_check = detail::view::image_check;
-
-enum class image_check
-{
-    full,
-    bounds,
-    none
-};
-```
-
-How thoroughly `load()` validates `image` before trusting it.
-
-`full` (the default)
-:   Checks everything the parser itself guarantees: structure and bounds; that every string is valid UTF-8 (and, for a
-    string still in the source text, that it contains no quote, backslash, or control character); and that every number
-    token is well-formed and matches the value stored for it. Strings and float tokens may share a range only if the
-    ranges are identical (as nodes that share a value do), and never overlap otherwise. Reading and serializing a
-    checked image is safe and always produces valid JSON, exactly as for a parsed document. This is the right choice for
-    an image from anything you do not fully control -- a file, a cache shared with other processes, a peer on the
-    network.
-
-`bounds`
-:   Checks structure and bounds only: that every offset and count in the node index stays inside the image. So
-    `load()`, [`root()`](root.md), element access, and [`materialize()`](../basic_json_view/materialize.md) can never
-    read outside the image, even on a damaged one. It does *not* guarantee that the image describes valid JSON: a
-    string that a `full` check would have rejected can make [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) write invalid UTF-8
-    or invalid JSON, or throw [`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316), and a number can
-    read back with a value that does not match how it is spelled. An [editable document](../json_editable_document.md)
-    does not take such a string over: [`set`](set.md), [`push_back`](push_back.md) and [`insert`](insert.md) throw
-    `type_error.316` when they copy it from a view of the loaded document, and leave the editable document unchanged.
-    `bounds` skips scanning the text and the decoded strings, so it fits a cache your own process just wrote and reads
-    straight back, where damage would mean a bug or a hardware fault rather than adversarial input.
-
-`none`
-:   Checks nothing. Reading a damaged image is undefined behavior, so use it only for an image you trust as much as
-    your own memory.
-
-**Lifetime.** Overloads 1 and 2 borrow `image`: it must stay alive and byte-for-byte unchanged for as long as the
-returned document, and any [view](../basic_json_view/index.md) taken from it, is used -- exactly like a document
-[`parse()`](parse.md) borrowed its input for. Overload 3 avoids this by keeping the vector itself; see
-[`owns_source`](owns_source.md).
-
-!!! warning "Experimental"
-
-    The image format is versioned but not yet stable, and may change in an incompatible way before it is declared
-    stable; `load()` already rejects an image written by a different format version with `parse_error.116`
-    ("unknown format"). Use images to cache a document within one build of the library, or to hand one to another
-    process running the *same* build on the *same* (little-endian) machine -- not as a long-term storage format.
-
-## Examples
-
-??? example "Caching a document, ownership, and a rejected image"
-
-    The example below saves a parsed document as an image, checks that `load()` reproduces the original
-    [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) without parsing, and shows the difference between
-    `load(std::move(image))` (owned) and `load(image)` (borrowed). It then damages one byte of the image and shows
-    `image_check::full` rejecting it with `parse_error.116`, while `image_check::bounds` -- meant for a cache the
-    process already trusts -- still reads it without going out of bounds.
-
-    ```cpp
-    --8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__load.cpp"

-## Exception safety

-Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document

-for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while `array` switches from its parsed
-layout to a growable block, or while that block grows, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave a partial effect, such

-not valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
-
-## Complexity
-
-Amortized constant, plus time linear in the size of `value` to encode it into the document's storage (constant for
-a scalar, linear in the number of nested values for an array or object): the elements of `array` move to a growable
-block of links the first time it is appended to (or [`set`](set.md) on), and that block itself grows -- doubling its
-capacity, so the cost of growing it amortizes to constant per element -- only once it runs out of room. See
-[Notes](#notes).
-
-## Notes
-
-Like [`set`](set.md) on a member or an element, `push_back` never moves an existing element itself -- only where
-`array`'s *links* to its elements live -- so a view of an existing element of `array` stays valid across a
-`push_back`, but any iterator already taken over `array` is invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See
-[Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across an edit in general.

-## Examples
-
-??? example
-
-    The example below appends records to an array one at a time, as they might arrive from a stream of events,
-    without ever building a `BasicJsonType` value for the array or for the records already in it, and shows that a

-## Complexity
-
-Linear in the size of the document: the number of nodes, plus the length of the text and the decoded strings that end
-up in the image.
-
-## Notes
-
-**Format.** The image begins with a 64-byte header (the magic bytes `#!cpp "NJVI"`, a version number, the node count,
-and the sizes of the text and the decoded strings, all little-endian), followed by the nodes
-([16 bytes each](../../home/architecture.md#node-index-of-json-views)), the text and a `#!cpp '\0'`, and the decoded
-strings and a `#!cpp '\0'`. [`load`](load.md) checks the header, and the sizes it describes, before reading anything
-else -- see [`load`'s Exceptions](load.md#exceptions).
-
-!!! warning "Experimental"
-
-    The image format is versioned but not yet stable: it may change in an incompatible way before it is declared
-    stable. Use images to cache a document within one build of the library, or to hand one to another process running
-    the *same* build on the *same* (little-endian) machine -- not as a long-term storage format. Keep the original
-    JSON text if you need to read a saved document back with a future library version.
-
-**Little-endian only.** The image is written as raw little-endian bytes, with no byte-swapping. `save()` (and
-[`load`](load.md)) throw `type_error.320` on a big-endian target rather than silently produce bytes a big-endian
-reader could not interpret correctly.
-
-## Examples
-
-??? example "Caching a parsed document as an image"
-
-    The example below saves a parsed configuration as an image -- the way a service might cache one to answer later
-    requests without parsing the text again -- and confirms that loading it back gives exactly the same result as
-    parsing did, and that saving is deterministic.

-Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
-has `set`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
-
-1. Replaces the value `target` refers to with `value`.
-2. Sets the member `key` of the object `object` to `value`: assigns it if `object` already has a member with this
-   key -- the first one, should the key occur more than once, and the later duplicates are then dropped (see the
-   [Notes](#notes) below) -- or appends a new member at the end otherwise. A [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md)
-   `object` first becomes an empty object.
-3. Assigns `value` to the element at index `idx` of the array `array`, which must already exist (`#!cpp idx <
-   array.size()`).
-4. Sets the value the JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, relative to [`root()`](root.md), to `value`. The *parent* of the
-   target must already exist: an object member is set as in 2. (added if it does not exist yet), an array element is
-   assigned as in 3., and a last reference token of `#!cpp "-"`, or equal to the size of the array, appends `value`
-   instead, exactly as [`push_back`](push_back.md) would. A [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) parent becomes what
-   [`basic_json::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) with a JSON pointer makes of it: an array if the last
-   reference token is `#!cpp "-"` or consists of digits only (for an index beyond 0, the array is first filled with
-   null values up to that index), an object otherwise. An empty `ptr` sets [`root()`](root.md) itself, as in 1.
-
-In every overload, `value` is accepted three ways: a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any*
-document -- read-only or editable, and it does not have to be `target`'s/`object`'s/`array`'s own document -- which
-is copied so that nothing is shared with the source document afterward; a `BasicJsonType` value; or anything
-`BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers, strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
-
-## Template parameters
-
-`V`
-:   the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
-
-`I`
-:   an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
-    `idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
-
-## Parameters
-
-`target` (in)
-:   the value to replace
-
-`object` (in)
-:   the object (or null value) whose member to set
-
-`array` (in)
-:   the array whose element to assign
-
-`key` (in)
-:   the key of the member to set
-
-`idx` (in)
-:   the index of the element to assign; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
-
-`ptr` (in)
-:   a JSON pointer to the value to set, relative to `root()`
-
-`value` (in)
-:   the new value
-
-## Return value
-
-1. a view of `target`, now holding `value`
-2. a view of the member `key` of `object`, now holding `value`
-3. a view of the element `idx` of `array`, now holding `value`
-4. a view of the value `ptr` refers to, now holding `value`
-
-## Exception safety
-
-Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
-before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
-invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
-for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while an edited array or object switches
-from its parsed layout to a growable block, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave a partial effect, such as a
-[null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `object`/`array` argument already turned into an empty object/array even
-though `value` itself was not linked in. Likewise, a failure of `value` in 4. leaves a null parent that is set with an
-index beyond 0 already filled with the null values before the index.
-
-## Exceptions
-
-1. Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if `value` is a
-   [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view, or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md)
-   `BasicJsonType` value (e.g. `#!cpp BasicJsonType(value_t::discarded)`) -- an object or array `value`, of either
-   kind, is fine and is encoded as a whole subtree.
-2. Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if `object` is neither an object
-   nor null -- the same message [`operator[]`](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for a string argument on
-   such a value. Throws [`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `key` is not
-   valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
-   Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
-3. Throws `type_error.305` if `array` is not an array -- the same message `operator[]` throws for a numeric argument
-   on such a value. Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is
-   negative, or if `#!cpp idx >= array.size()`. Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
-4. Throws what [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md) throws (overload 3) for resolving `ptr`'s parent, except that a
-   missing object member or an array index equal to the array's size at the very last reference token is not an
-   error there (it becomes a new member or an appended element) instead of
-   [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403)/[`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402).
-   For the last reference token itself: if the parent is an object (or a primitive value, where it throws
-   `type_error.305`), throws what 2. throws; if the parent is an array, throws what 3. throws for an index that is
-   out of range, or, for a token that is not a valid array index,
-   [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) (a leading `#!cpp '0'`),
-   [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) (not a number),
-   [`out_of_range.410`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range410) (too large for `size_type`), or
-   [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) (an empty token); the same errors are
-   thrown for a null parent and a token of digits (the parent is not changed then), and
-   [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if the index is 4294967295 or more.
-   Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
-
-Every overload also throws [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or
-contains) a binary value -- `BasicJsonType` can hold one, but a `json_document` cannot -- and
-[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
-document") if `target`/`object`/`array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a
-*different* document (overloads 1-3 only; overload 4 always starts from this document's own [`root()`](root.md)).
-
-## Complexity
-
-1. Linear in the size of `value` (encoding it into the document's storage): constant for a scalar, linear in the
-   number of nested values for an array or object. If `target` is itself an array or object that spans more than one
-   node in its parent's original, unedited layout, and `value` is a scalar, replacing it additionally costs time
-   linear in the size of the document, the *first* time (the parent of `target` is looked up from
-   [`root()`](root.md), and then switches to links) -- see [Notes](#notes). Once the parent has links, `target` is
-   replaced in constant time: setting every element of a large array one after the other is linear overall. To avoid
-   the lookup altogether, use 3. (or 2. for an object), which know the parent.
-2. Linear in the number of members of `object`, to find an existing member with `key`, plus the complexity of 1. for
-   `value`.
-3. Constant, plus the complexity of 1. for `value`.
-4. Linear in the number of reference tokens of `ptr` and, for each token, in the number of members of the object at
-   that level or the index into the array (as [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md)), plus the complexity of 2. or 3. for
-   the last token; for a null parent and an index, linear in the index.
-
-## Notes
-
-!!! info "Duplicate keys"
-
-    If `object` already has more than one member with `key` (2.), the *first* one is assigned `value` and every
-    later member with the same key is removed -- so that a lookup, an iteration, and
-    [`materialize()`](../basic_json_view/materialize.md) of `object` afterward all agree on a single value for
-    `key`, the same way [`operator[]`](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md) already picks the first occurrence of a
-    duplicate key for reading. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md#notes) of
-    `operator[]`.
-
-Setting a member (2.) or an element (3., through 4.) of an array or object whose elements have not been edited
-before switches it from its parsed layout to a growable block holding links to its elements; a later
-[`push_back`](push_back.md) or `set` on the same container reuses that block, growing it (amortized constant time)
-only once it runs out of room. This never moves an element itself -- only where the container's *links* to its
-elements live -- so a view of an element stays valid, but any iterator already taken over the container is
-invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See [Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across an edit in
-general.
-
-The same switch happens, for the same reason, when overload 1. replaces a multi-node array/object value with a
-scalar: the *parent's* element sequence is what has to switch to links, not `target` itself, because the parent
-originally stepped over `target`'s whole subtree by its node count, which no longer applies once `target` is a
-one-node scalar.
-
-## Examples
-
-??? example "Example: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4) replace a value, set a member, assign an element, set via a JSON pointer"
-
-    The example below edits a small configuration document -- replacing a value, adding an object member, assigning
-    an array element, and reaching a field through a JSON pointer -- and shows what
-    [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) preserves that is lost once the same edits are made on a `BasicJsonType`
-    value instead: the order object members were written in, and the exact spelling of a number that was never
-    touched.

-    ```cpp
-    --8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__set.cpp"
