 ## Resolving Minus Sign Token
 
-Besides, [RFC6901] defines a special token `-` (single minus sign), which means the pass-the-end value of an array. `Get()` only treats this token as a member name '"-"'. Yet the other functions can resolve this for array, equivalent to calling `Value::PushBack()` to the array.
