Value::take(&mut self) causes panic

[akmitrich]

I have a code like this

fn main() {
    let obj = b"{\"key\":\"Small JSON-file with object.\"}";
    let mut json_obj_repr: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_slice(obj).unwrap();
    let missing_key = json_obj_repr["Hello World!"].take();
    println!("From object I took {:?}", missing_key);
    let string = b"\"There is just a string in valid JSON-file.\"";
    let mut json_str_repr: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_slice(string).unwrap();
    let invalid_operation = json_str_repr["Hello World!"].take();
    println!("Never reach this {:?}", invalid_operation);
}

First println!

Shows that taking from missing key returns Value::Null variant. And this is what we all expect from Value::take(&mut self).

Second take() panics

thread 'main' panicked at /home/user/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/serde_json-1.0.135/src/value/index.rs:102:18:
cannot access key "Hello World!" in JSON string

And second println! is never reached.
