That says `JSON.generate` only allows "objects or arrays", that `to_json` allows more, and uses `1.to_json` as an example for that. But I just tried `JSON.generate(1)` and it works as well. What's up with that?

That talks about `state` a lot. I think it should say `opts`, as that is the argument name, no? Also, it says "state is * a JSON::State object". Note the "*". I think this should be a bullet point, i.e., "a JSON::State object" should be an item in the list following it.
