Description:
------------
It would be great to have a option for json_encode which make possible
to keep non-ascii character "as such" in strings (and not \uxxxx), which
is the case for example with mozilla's JSON.stringify.

json.org states string can have
"any-Unicode-character-except-"-or-\-or-control-character"

Test script:
---------------
$str = "test accentué";
echo json_encode($str);

gives 

"test accentu\u00e9"

Expected result:
----------------
"test accentué"

Actual result:
--------------
"test accentu\u00e9"
