The only alternative I can see that might stop the warning is if we
can find a way to make it clearer to the optimizer that the FREE()
isn't reached.  But I'm not sure about a trustworthy way to make that
happen.  Maybe it'd work to change the signature of freeJsonLexContext
(or perhaps better, add a separate entry point) so that the caller is
passing a bool constant that controls whether to free the struct.
We could have an Assert that compares that to the state of the
JSONLEX_FREE_STRUCT flag to catch mistakes.  This seems kind of messy
though.
