jarr.Load('[ 1, 2, 3, "apple", "orange", [ 10, 20, 30 ], { "name": "Luther"} ]');

// Copy the contents of jar to a new array member named "stuff".
// Insert the array at the 2nd position
json.AddArrayCopyAt(1,'stuff',jarr.ControlInterface);

Memo1.Lines.Add(json.Emit());
// 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:
jarr.AddIntAt(-1,2020);
Memo1.Lines.Add(jarr.Emit());
// Expected output: [1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"},2020]

Memo1.Lines.Add(json.Emit());
// Remains unchanged: {"name":"John","stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"}],"marbles":100}
