This resolves to a fairly weird construct:

{
   "parameters": {
     "db": [
       {
         "db_name": null,
         "description": "blah",
         "help": "blah"
       },
       {
         "description": "blah",
         "db_username": null,
         "help": "blah"
       }
     ]
   }
}

so the name is whichever key has a data value of null (what if there's 
more than one?), and obviously it can't collide with any keywords like 
"description" or "help".

Also, this orders parameters within a group (though not parameters that 
are ungrouped) but not the groups themselves.
