I'm happy to see that MooTools has JSON processing support---now I
won't have to maintain my own version which I created five years ago.
I was also excited to discover (I've been away from web programming
for a while) that many browsers nowadays provide native JSON
capabilities:

I assumed that the MooTools JSON version would delegate to the native
browser version if present. I looked at the code; apparently MooTools
at least checks to see if the browser already has a JSON object, but
then it goes and adds its own encode() and decode() methods() without
delegating to the native parse()/stringify()/whatever() methods of the
browser.

That's disappointing. Am I missing something, or does MooTools lack
JQuery's ability to use the browser's native JSON processing
capabilities if present?
