I'd like to make jsonify more smart:  use pylons.config['debug'] to
decide to serve as application/json or text/javascript.  i.e.
text/javascript only under debug environment for easier debugging,
otherwise the more standard application/json.

As what http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/ describes,
text/javascript is obsolete, use application/javascript instead for
.js files.  And application/json is the standard media type for JSON
data ( ref: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt )
