Just to add, there are circular dependencies in this data structure due
to ":parent" and potentially some of the ":structure" elements.  They
obviously need to be broken to avoid infinite loops.

Here my hackish attempt to deal with this in order to dump org-element
to JSON:

See org-json-straigten-tree for how I nullified these elements.
