I disagree. Strings in JSON are quoted, not raw -- plain old String is
NOT JSON as per specification.
(in fact, only JSON Object or Array is, strictly speaking)
Only tokens like 'true', 'false' and 'null', as well as numbers, are
valid without quoting.
So this is not wrapping anything, just creating legal JSON.
