When used with the "properties" data format, and most especially with the flat format of the library.properties file that was an initial focus of the project's development, JSON pointers are not a terribly intuitive way to refer to a data path.
In this context, it seemed sensible to pre-fill the root prefix on the instance pointer argument of the JSON schema validation result parsing functions. However, now that those functions are being used with the JSON formatted package index data file, the requirement to omit this prefix from the JSON pointers is very confusing.
Since the argument is already a regex, it's simple to allow both styles of instance data path references.
