Altogether, this speeds up \u-encoded War and Peace parsing by 20%. Performance on json-benchmark is slightly affected: there are some 5% improvements and a -1% regression, but I'm willing to write that off as noise from an imperfect benchmark setup.
This PR should be more readable per-commit w/o whitespace changes. In addition to the above, it includes a variation on #877, since it's easier to implement with this design.
