+This section describes functions that help to create, or *pack*,
 complex JSON values, especially nested objects and arrays. Value
 building is based on a *format string* that is used to tell the
 functions about the expected arguments.
 
 For example, the format string ``"i"`` specifies a single integer
 value, while the format string ``"[ssb]"`` or the equivalent ``"[s, s,
