I think this is a reasonable thing to have. I see Taylor left a more
detailed review, but I did notice one thing...

Generating the json output isn't entirely trivial (and certainly
involves allocations), but we throw it away unused if tracing isn't
enabled. Maybe we'd want something like:
if (!trace2_is_enabled())
return;
at the top of the function? It looks like other callers of
jw_object_begin() have a similar issue, and this is probably premature
optimization to some degree. It just feels like it should be easy for
tracing to be zero-cost (beyond a single conditional) when it's
disabled.
