I'm a programmer. I expect json_* functions to encode and decode to
JSON specifications. Not PHP's original interpretation of it...

Okay, well PHP 6's behavior is going to change certain things already.
Hence why I would recommend the change to be in a major version (6.x)

But in the meantime, we're going to be stuck using a construct that
works but does not work to actual specification and we're just going
to "stick with it" because it will be a change?

PHP does "magic" already on a variety of things behind the scenes,
there should be no reason why this is any different.
