    // Copy the contents of jar to a new array member named "stuff".
    // Insert the array at the 2nd position
    Get pvComObject of hoJarr to vJarr
    Get ComAddArrayCopyAt Of hoJson 1 "stuff" vJarr To iSuccess

    Get ComEmit Of hoJson To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1
    // Expected output is:  {"name":"John","stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"}],"marbles":100}

    // Note: The contents of the array were copied.
    // If we modify the contents of jarr, it does not modify the array contained within "json" because it is a separate copy.
    // For example:
    Get ComAddIntAt Of hoJarr -1 2020 To iSuccess
    Get ComEmit Of hoJarr To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1
    // Expected output: [1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"},2020]

    Get ComEmit Of hoJson To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1
    // Remains unchanged: {"name":"John","stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"}],"marbles":100}
