The RPC just returns whatever json_encode gave it, and doesn't do 
anything manual to the data returned.  (And they're not actually files 
at any stage, so what POSIX wants doesn't matter much. ;))

Anyway, we could definitely add it, but every json tool should 
definitely be able to handle them as it is.  Examples of ones that 
don't?
