Hmm, shouldn't the above have the upside-down xmas tree format?

	struct xbc_node *leaf, *vnode;
	char *key, *end = dst + size;
	const char *val;
	char q;
	int ret = 0;


Looks a little better that way. But anyway, more meat below.

The above is a functional change that is not described in the change
log.

You use to have:

	if (vnode && xbc_node_is_array(vnode)) {
		xbc_array_for_each_value() {
			[..]
		}
	} else {
		[..]
	}

And now have:

	if (vnode) {
		xbc_array_for_each_value() {
			[..]
		}
	} else {
		[..]
	}

Is "vnode" equivalent to "vnode && xbc_node_is_array(vnode)" ?

Why was this change made? It seems out of scope with the change log?
