I would favour plain "type" : "int***".
Consider it will be parsed from many different languages, C#,
Java... etc and the generic tools may be able to handle json from
multiple languages, and in this context have no reason to use
differently mangled types for different languages.
"int***" is both compact and easy enough to parse anyway.
Even for pure D-based tools, for unit-test reasons it could be
useful to have the pretty name to compare against, thus Rainer's
proposal is a reasonable compromise.
