basic_claim missing as_object

[AndrewLipscomb]

Just reading through the header for basic_claim and can see there is no as_object() to match the as_string(), as_array() and other similar functions

Not good with the standard by any means - but from the spec

For JWTs, while claim names are strings, claim values can be any JSON type

Of which an object should be fine. Is there a reason for as_object to be omitted or is this an oversight?

I can make a pull if its an oversight

oversight would be possible. I think it simply was not required to handle the JWTs structure, signing or verification.

I am certainly in favor of this. Please open a PR.

It's possible to use to_json() as an alternative.
