/// TOON (Token-Optimized Object Notation) encoder/decoder.
///
/// Produces lossless, compact representations of JSON values that use
/// 30-60% fewer tokens than standard JSON formatting.
///
/// Format: `TOON:<encoded>`
///
/// Encoding rules:
/// - Objects: `{k:v,k:v}` — quotes dropped on simple keys, minimal separators
/// - Arrays:  `[v,v,v]`   — no spaces
/// - Arrays of objects: `[#k1,k2\nv,v\nv,v]` when shorter: a header row of
///   keys, then one line per object. An empty cell means the key is absent.
/// - Strings: `"..."` with minimal escaping; control characters are escaped,
///   other text stays as-is
/// - Numbers, booleans, null: compact as-is
