It's more of a return-type issue.

The reason I created Box in the first place is that Option doesn't give you
the ability to capture reasons for None (yeah, there's Either... although
there wasn't when I introduced Box [Can at the time], but you can't use
Either in a for comprehension).

In reviewing the JSON code, there's actually nothing that I'd change in the
APIs.  I would support Box everywhere there's support for Option
(serializing/deserializing and implicit helpers).
