Comment (by blighj):
Seemed like a good idea at the time. If you had a variable that was
already json it would give you a simple way to wrap it in a script block.
If for what ever reason you had the following string passed to your
template
'{"variable":"user contributed string</script>"}'
which you wanted to output to javascript in a similar style, the filter
would be useful to output in a script safely but keeping it as json
What I hadn't considered was your simple string example or equally, if
someone did to_json("4"). They will expect that to be output as a string
not a number.
So yeah let's get rid of that idea, if someone has a json string and want
to use this filter, then call json.loads first.
Any other comments or advice?
