In my opinion we should follow the formal JSON grammar.
This. Anyone who wants JavaScript behavior can use own

Exactly. Here's the official web page complete with nice graphics
detailing the grammar: http://json.org/. I've read the JSON RFC
before, but I can't remember what it says about whitespace within
a basic value, but the graphics here make it very clear that
whitespace does *not* belong inside a value.
The real question is, is this worth fixing before std.serialize
makes it in? There will likely be other bugs once/if that's
accepted. I tried extending std.json in the past with static
reflection, but that didn't make it in for this very reason.
