Inclusions and JSON

[Ben Rubinstein]

Further to this: dear LiveCode, please make the Inclusions selector in the 
standalone settings window navigable - at least sortable by name, platform, 
selected; even-better-if can be filtered.

See also https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18199, which includes a 
comment in 2017 specifically referencing 'json' as a use-case for filtering.

And apparently Ali Lloyd did exactly this six years ago:
https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/pull/1809

... but nobody has ever reviewed the pull request.

:-(
