I forgot about the warnings module.

For "exception by default" behavior, the library can call
warnings.simplefilter ("error", JSONWarning) on initialization. Then
we just define various subclasses of JSONWarning for the different
warning types (trailing comma, illegal whitespace, NaN etc). If users
want to ignore some or all of the warnings, they can specify which (or
all). Best of all, it wouldn't require long parameter lists.
