Is this a bug?

A line from DMD 2.063 json output.

A line from an older DMD version. Forward slashes escaped according to
json standard.
Hesitant to file a bug report because by the time I see something it's
probably already well known and fixed.
I looked into this out of curiosity.
The solidus _can be_ escaped to allow JSON strings to contain XML
closing tags (like </b>) while the JSON itself is wrapped by an XML element.
In contexts where the JSON is not going to be read by an XML parser, or
will not make a potentially confusing closing tag (such as in part of a
web address or file path) it becomes totally optional.
However, I also read that some buggy implementations of JSON parsers
treat // as the beginning of a comment even when inside a string.
I hope that helps!
