Skimming though ML archives, noticed (mostly-missing) conversation
about json-ipc which seem to mention mpv version issues wrt support for
that feature, which I haven't considered at all as it's the first time
I've used this API (more familiar with controlling mpv from lua),
and kinda-assumed it was there long enough, given how simple and
inadequate --input-file= is comparatively.

In which case guess maybe it makes even more sense to leave simple
implmenetation in for compatibility + simplicity reasons for a while,
as improvements that json-ipc provides don't seem to be huge.
