Hello,
I should also mention, I am using the latest Boost 1.69.0.

I'm a bit confused here, not sure what this means:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error C2664 'bool boost::function4<R,T0,T1,T2,T3>::operator

if (f(first, last, context, skipper)) {}
Incompatible where? How? Requires clarification please. The default
Skipper type, which I am using at the moment, is
boost::spirit::qi::space_type. I aim to use the proven Comment Skipper
that I leveraged in a previous iteration eventually, but I expect that
compilation should work with the simple space type at least.
Because as far as I can determine all of the rules in my Grammar have
the same Skipper type.
struct json_grammar : qi::grammar<It, value_t(), Skipper> {
    using iterator_type = It;
    using skipper_type = Skipper;
    using char_rule_type = qi::rule<It, char()>;
    json_grammar() : json_grammar::base_type(value_) {
        // ...
     }
private:
    struct escapes_t : qi::symbols<char, char> {
        escapes_t() {
            this->add("\\b", '\b')
                ("\\f", '\f')
                ("\\n", '\n')
                ("\\r", '\r')
                ("\\t", '\t')
                ("\\v", '\v')
                ("\\\\", '\\')
                ("\\/", '/')
                ("\\'", '\'')
                ("\\\"", '"')
                ;
        }
    } char_esc;
//qi::rule<iterator_type> line_cont;
    char_rule_type hex_esc, unicode_esc;
    qi::rule<iterator_type, str_t()> quot_str, tick_str, str_lit;
qi::rule<iterator_type, std::vector<value_t>(), skipper_type> array_;
