Comment (by chrisz):
This is a duplicate of #2034.
Actually, the standard behavior of TG (WSGI, CherryPy) is to concatenate
any sequenced output. But for JSON one might also expect that a list is
return as a JSON array.
The ZEN of Python says "In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to
guess." So maybe instead of concatenating the list as strings, in the case
of JSON we should actually raise an error starting with TG 2.1.
The error message should also mention the security issues involved with
using top level JSON arrays, and recommend using a dict instead or setting
a config switch to allow this (yet to be implemented).
Leaving this ticket open to collect opinions about that.
