Summary Add support for toSource and/or uneval

Firefox's toString and uneval are pretty handy. It would be nice if I could use them in WebKit, instead of having to serialize strings and objects manually when I want to port something from Gecko to WebKit. uneval("foo") --> "\"foo\"" uneval({a:1}) --> "({a:1})" I'm not sure if uneval and toSource are the same. I have the feeling they're not.

I of course meant "toSource", not "toString".

Hmm, some digging would appear to indicate there is no way to define a self referencing parameter in json :-/ eg. a=[]; a[0]=a; uneval(a); or at a greater extreme: a = {b:{c:a}}; a.c = a.b.c; uneval(a);

We support JSON.stringify now which is basically what was being requested
