As Chris Rebert mentioned, the JSON standards have adopted this (unsurprising) behavior. Ruby hasn't, and I doubt Crockford has, but I think they're in the minority at this point. JavaScript's own JSON implementation works the same way json/simplejson does.

> JSON.parse(JSON.stringify('yay'))
"yay"

At best, I think it's probably worth a mention in the documentation, but not worth changing any code over.
