Research direction

Start by locating the JSON.Object implementation and the existing push! support in JSON.jl. Check how pop! is expected to behave for dictionary-like objects, then add coverage showing that JSON.Object supports it and run the relevant test suite to confirm the behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is there a reason that JSON.Object doesn't support pop!().

(Or more generally, why isn't pop!() defined for AbstractDicts, whereas push!()is ... But that's nothing we can change here.)
