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>

-When fixing a bug, edit `unit-regression3.cpp` and add a section referencing the fixed issue. Tests that need C++17 or
-C++20 go into `unit-regression3-cpp17.cpp` or `unit-regression3-cpp20.cpp` instead, so the large file is not rebuilt

-To keep compile times down, several test files are compiled together as one translation unit. This sets a few rules

-[`tests`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tests) folder for how the tests are built and what to keep in

-1. Throws [`type_error.307`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error307) if `object` is not an object -- the
-   same message [`BasicJsonType::erase`](../basic_json/erase.md) throws for the same type.
-2. Throws `type_error.307` if `array` is not an array. Throws
-   [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is negative, or if
-   `#!cpp idx >= array.size()`.
-3. Throws [`out_of_range.405`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range405) ("JSON pointer has no parent")
-   if `ptr` is empty. Throws what [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md) throws (overload 3) for resolving `ptr`'s parent.
-   For the last reference token itself: if the parent is an array, throws what 2. 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); otherwise (an
-   object, or a primitive value the pointer's parent resolves to) throws what 1. throws.
-
-Overloads 1. and 2. also throw [`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202)
-("view does not belong to this document") if `object`/`array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md)
-view or a view of a *different* document. Overload 3. never throws `invalid_iterator.202`: it takes no view, and it
-always starts from this document's own [`root()`](root.md).
-
-## Complexity
-
-1. Linear in the number of members of `object`.
-2. Linear in the number of elements of `array` at or after `idx` (they move one slot over).
-3. 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 1. or 2. for
-   the last token.
-
-## Notes
-
-!!! 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.
-
-## Examples
-
-??? example
-
-    The example below drops a deprecated field and a decommissioned entry from a configuration document -- using all
-    three overloads -- and shows what stays intact that would not with a plain `json`/`ordered_json` value: the order
-    of the fields around the ones removed, and the exact spelling of a number that was never touched.

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

-
-Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
-has `insert`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).

-Inserts `value` into `array` as a new element before position `idx`, which must not be past the end
-(`#!cpp idx <= array.size()`; `#!cpp idx == array.size()` appends, like [`push_back`](push_back.md)). Unlike
-[`push_back`](push_back.md), a [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `array` does *not* first become an empty array:
-`array` must already be an array.
-
-`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 `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
-
-`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
-    index shifts -- something a plain `json`/`ordered_json` array, or its `std::vector`-based storage, has no
-    equivalent for.

-```
-
-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

-
-Otherwise throws [`parse_error.116`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error116) if `image` is not one

-## 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)

-
-## 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
-    view taken from an earlier `push_back` still refers to the same element once later ones have run.

-strings (plus the strings edits wrote) -- everything [`root()`](root.md) needs, with nothing left to parse.

-
-Every overload also throws [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or

-*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.

-`indent_char` (in)

-
-`ensure_ascii` (in)
-:   If `ensure_ascii` is `#!cpp true`, all non-ASCII characters in the output are escaped with `\uXXXX` sequences, and
-    the result consists of ASCII characters only.

-compared. Two arrays of different [`size()`](size.md) are rejected without visiting either one's elements.
-
-## Notes
-
-Only a single number, boolean, or `#!cpp null` value is ever materialized into a `BasicJsonType`, to reuse its
-`operator==` -- for numbers, so that values written differently in the source text but equal in value (e.g. an
-integer and a floating-point literal) still compare equal, following the same rules `BasicJsonType` does for special
-values such as `#!cpp NaN`. Constructing one of these scalars never allocates. Strings are compared directly, without
-allocating, either from the source text on both sides or, for overload 2, against `BasicJsonType`'s own string.
-Arrays and objects are never materialized at all; only their elements or members are visited, one pair at a time.

-!!! info "How objects are compared"
-
-    For a [`json_view`](../json_view.md) (`BasicJsonType::object_t` is `#!cpp std::map`), members are compared by
-    key, regardless of the order they appear in the source text. For an
-    [`ordered_json_view`](../ordered_json_view.md) (`object_t` is `ordered_map`), they are compared in the order
-    they occur, so the very same two objects with their members reordered can compare equal as `json_view`s but not
-    as `ordered_json_view`s. This is exactly how [`json`](../json.md) and [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md)
-    compare, see ["Comparing different `basic_json` specializations"](../basic_json/operator_eq.md#notes).
-
-!!! info "Discarded views"
-
-    A [discarded](is_discarded.md) view compares the same way a discarded `BasicJsonType` value does, which is
-    governed by
-    [`JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON`](../macros/json_use_legacy_discarded_value_comparison.md): by

-  instance, using the manipulator `std::setw(4)` on `o` sets the indentation level to `4`, and the serialization
-  result is the same as calling `#!cpp v.dump(4)`. A `width` of `0` or less (the default) selects the most compact
-  representation, as `#!cpp v.dump(-1)` does.
- The indentation character can be controlled with the member variable `fill` of the output stream `o`. For instance,
-  the manipulator `std::setfill('\t')` sets indentation to use a tab character rather than the default space
-  character.
- As for `basic_json`, `o`'s `width` is reset to `0` after this call, whether or not it was greater than `0` before.

-# JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN
-
-```cpp
-#define JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN /* value */
-```
-
-When defined to `1`, parsing from a `#!cpp std::istream` reads the input one character at a time through the stream
-buffer, as in version 3.12.0 and earlier, instead of scanning the characters that the stream buffer already holds in
-bulk.
-
-The macro is an escape hatch for stream buffers that do not follow the usual contract of `std::basic_streambuf` (see
-the requirements on the stream buffer in the notes below). It does not change any result: values, exceptions, and the
-position of the stream after parsing are the same either way. Only the speed differs.
-
-## Default definition
-
-The default value is `0`: streams are scanned in bulk.
-
-```cpp
-#define JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN 0
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-!!! note "How streams are scanned"
-
-    A `std::streambuf` keeps the part of the input it has read but not yet handed out in its *get area*, the range
-    from `gptr()` to `egptr()`. A `std::filebuf`, for instance, reads the file in blocks of a few kilobytes into its get
-    area, and a `std::stringbuf` exposes its whole string as one get area.
-
-    When parsing from a `std::istream`, the parser scans this get area directly, with the same fast paths that it uses
-    for a `std::string`: runs of ordinary string characters, numbers, and indentation are recognized several bytes at a
-    time instead of being requested from the stream buffer one character at a time. When the parser reaches the end of
-    the get area, it asks the stream buffer for the next character as before, which makes the stream buffer refill its
-    get area.
-
-    The parser only reads characters that it would also have read one at a time, and it advances the stream buffer
-    exactly over the characters it consumes. Nothing is read ahead, buffered elsewhere, or put back. Therefore, the
-    stream is left exactly where it was left before:
-
-    - [`operator>>`](../operator_gtgt.md) and [`sax_parse`](../basic_json/sax_parse.md) with `strict = false` can still
-      read several values from one stream, and the stream can still be used with other `std::istream` functions after a
-      value has been read.
-    - With [`JSON_PRECISE_STREAM_POSITION`](json_precise_stream_position.md), the stream is still positioned right after
-      a parsed number.
-    - Exception messages, including the line, the column, and the last read token, are unchanged.
-
-!!! note "Performance"
-
-    Parsing from a `std::ifstream` or `std::istringstream` is typically 1.5 to 2 times as fast as before, and reading
-    many small values from one stream with `operator>>` 1.4 to 4 times as fast. Parsing from a stream is then within
-    about 10 to 20 % of first reading the whole file into a `std::string` and parsing that.
-
-    A stream buffer without a get area (one that only overrides `underflow()` and `uflow()` and hands out every
-    character from there) offers nothing to scan in bulk, so it is read one character at a time as before.
-
-!!! note "Requirements on the stream buffer"
-
-    The bulk scan relies on the following behavior, which every stream buffer of the standard library and every stream
-    buffer that keeps its input in its get area has:
-
-    - When `sgetc()` returns a character while `gptr() < egptr()`, that character is `*gptr()`; when `sbumpc()` returns
-      one, it was at `gptr()` before the call.
-    - Characters in the get area are not changed while they are in the get area.
-    - `underflow()` or `uflow()` either sets up a get area that holds the returned character at `gptr()` (or at
-      `gptr() - 1` after `uflow()`), or leaves the get area empty.
-
-    A stream buffer that returns characters from `uflow()` while leaving unrelated characters in its get area, or that
-    changes the characters in its get area in place, does not meet these requirements. Define the macro to `1` for
-    such stream buffers.
-
-!!! note "ABI compatibility"
-
-    The value of this macro is encoded in the [namespace](../../features/namespace.md) (tag `_dsbs`), resulting in
-    distinct symbol names. Translation units compiled with and without it can therefore be linked into the same program
-    without One Definition Rule (ODR) violations, but they cannot exchange instances of library types.
-
-!!! note "Other inputs"
-
-    Strings, string views, vectors, arrays, and pointer or iterator ranges over contiguous memory are scanned in bulk
-    anyway. Reading from a `#!cpp FILE*` is not affected by this macro; see
-    [`JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO`](json_disable_unlocked_file_io.md) for that input.
-
-## Examples
-
-??? example "Example: reading values from a stream (default)"
-
-    The stream is scanned in bulk, and the values are read one after the other:
-
-    ```cpp
-    #include <iostream>
-    #include <sstream>
-    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
-
-    using json = nlohmann::json;
-
-    int main()
-    {
-        std::istringstream input(R"({"id": 1} {"id": 2} 42 rest)");
-        json j1, j2, j3;
-        input >> j1 >> j2 >> j3;  // {"id":1}, {"id":2}, 42
-
-        std::string word;
-        input >> word;            // "rest"
-    }
-    ```
-
-??? example "Example: reading one character at a time (macro defined to 1)"
-
-    With the macro, the same program reads the stream one character at a time, with the same results:
-
-    ```cpp
-    #define JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN 1
-    #include <iostream>
-    #include <sstream>
-    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
-

-
-    int main()
-    {
-        std::istringstream input(R"({"id": 1} {"id": 2} 42 rest)");
-        json j1, j2, j3;
-        input >> j1 >> j2 >> j3;  // {"id":1}, {"id":2}, 42
