<#
.SYNOPSIS
    JSON PipeScript Transpiler.
.DESCRIPTION
    Allows PipeScript to generate JSON.

    Multiline comments blocks like ```/*{}*/``` will be treated as blocks of PipeScript.

    String output from these blocks will be embedded directly. All other output will be converted to JSON.

    Multiline comments can be preceeded or followed by 'empty' syntax, which will be ignored.

    * ```null```
    * ```""```
    * ```{}```
    * ```[]```
.EXAMPLE
    a.js template "
    procs = null/*{Get-Process | Select Name, ID}*/
    "
