Unfortunately we're in the very challenging position now where
introducing the use of window.JSON will absolutely break some
jQuery-using applications - and will continue to do so far into the
future. For better or worse people are passing around non-valid JSON.
Using single quotes ({'a':1}) and no quotes ({a:1}) are the two most
obvious examples, off the top of my head.

I agree that prioritizing on safety and performance should be key but
we're in a bit of a quandary.

I've backed out the change here:

But I'm just bracing for the inevitable slew of "broken" applications
that'll come with the 1.4 release.
