I'm impressed that this issue has been addressed so quickly.

I hate to be a complainer, but could I bring up one more thought?
Throughout my libraries, rather than creating a new API I try as
closely as possible to use the official API (e.g. W3C DOM) and, if one
browser's implementation is lacking, adding the appropriate API to
bring it up to the level of the official API. I had understood that
this is the spirit of MooTools, too.

I note that both IE and Firefox use JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify():

http://blog.mozilla.com/webdev/2009/02/12/native-json-in-firefox-31/

That's not a standard, but it's as close as we're going to get at this
point. Wouldn't it be best to migrate developers towards an emerging
consensus and use the same method names? (Yes, "backwards-
compatibility", "MooTools' implementation was there first", etc. I
understand that.)

Best,

Garret
