yeah - obviously cheating.  just to clarify though, for people who
might actually want to use json that this is not a 1.9 thing: it's on
rubyforge:

cfp2:~ > gem list --remote|grep json
fjson (0.1.2, 0.1.1, 0.1.0, 0.0.9, 0.0.8, 0.0.7, 0.0.6, 0.0.5, 0.0.4,
0.0.3, 0.0.2, 0.0.1)
json (1.1.2, 1.1.1, 1.1.0, 1.0.4, 1.0.3, 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0, 0.4.3,
0.4.2, 0.4.1, 0.4.0)
json_pure (1.1.2, 1.1.1, 1.1.0, 1.0.4, 1.0.3, 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0)
Orbjson (0.0.4, 0.0.3, 0.0.2, 0.0.1)
ruby-json (1.1.2, 1.1.1)

and activesupport also includes a parser
