Right, because "FORMAT JSON" is turned into FORMAT_LA JSON by parser.c
(see base_yylex there).  I'm not really sure but I think it might be
better to make it "| FORMAT_LA JSON" instead of invoking the whole
copy_generic_opt_arg syntax.  Not because of performance, but just
because it's much clearer what's going on.
