core:encoding/json parser fails on single character keys

[graphitemaster]

The included JSON parser of core:encoding/json fails to handle single-character keys in the JSON5 specification mode.

import "core:encoding/json"
test := "{a:1}";
_, error := json.parse(transmute([]u8)test, .JSON5);
// error has type .Expected_Colon_After_Key

Larger keys work fine, and of course single-character keys in regular JSON (quoted) work fine.
