tfson() =======
For extra fun & profit, Balint Kovacs' format_json has been ported to use value-pairs(), and this will be the third patch in the series, and is also available on my integration/tfjson branch.
This one's the least important, though it's dead simple, therefore I'd be very happy if it made past the feature freeze aswell.
I'd integrate this into 3.4 instead. mongodb is already in, and the value-pairs stuff is a clear win there.
tfjson and substr (anything I've missed) should go to 3.4. Hopefully that can be a faster release-cycle, as I don't intend to break everything as I did with 3.3. (you know converting a program from single to multi-threaded has a certain cost).
Having JSON support would be a big boost for those of us who want to do high speed integration with external apps without using stuff that involves slow regexes. I'd miss this feature if it didn't go in. Matthew.
