Research direction

Read the linked discussion in pull request #330, which is the only pointer in this issue, and trace how JWK key_ops is parsed and represented in StarlingMonkey. Determine where omission and an empty array need distinct handling, then add or update coverage for both cases. Done means the two inputs are distinguishable and the relevant tests pass.
