Escape quote to force numbers as string doesn't seem to work in 1.9

[jdimpson]

The Bugs section of the Manual (jo.md) says this should work:

$ jo a=1.0
{"a":1}
$ jo a=\"1.0\"
{"a":"1.0"}

But when I run jo version 1.9 (from Debian 12 bookworm), I get this:

$ jo a=\"1.0\"
{"a":"\"1.0\""}

At a glance it appears the string coercion option is missing; this works from my shell:

$ jo -- -s a="1.0"
{"a":"1.0"}

Indeed the escaped quotes produce unexpected results:

$ /bin/echo jo -- -s a=\"1.0\"
jo -- -s a="1.0"

$ jo -- -s a=\"1.0\"
{"a":"\"1.0\""}

Ah, the jo -- -s ... syntax works for me as well, and will suit my purposes. I'm new to jo and hadn't understood the need for for the -- until now.

That said, the example I referred to under the Bugs section of the manual page is seemingly not accurate (unless I misunderstand something.)

Thank you for this wonderful tool. It complements jq very well!
