[issue18290] json encoder does not support JSONP/JavaScript safe escaping

[Antti Haapala]

Antti Haapala added the comment:

My mistake in writing, json ofc does specify that "control characters" be escaped. Then, it needs to be pointed out that JSON module DOES not currently escape \u007f-\u009f as it maybe strictly should

>>> unicodedata.category('\u007f')
'Cc'
>>> json.dumps({'a': '\u007f'}, ensure_ascii=False)
'{"a": "\x7f"}'
