From json.org, I read that a json value can be a string, a number, an
object, an array, true, false or null. So I wonder, why "string" is
treated different from []. By the way, "string".to_json works as
expected:

 => "\"string\""

I'm implementing a protocol, where the payload is a JSON encoded value
and I think "string" is a valid JSON expression.

Kind regards
Torsten
