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"

Seems reasonable to add.

Maybe it's worth mentioning in manual that json_encode converts national characters into strings like \uxxxx and that there is no way to change this behaviour yet?

The given option is especially necessary, when json is used in ajax responses. The 
size of a line decreases approximately twice.

I have added a patch which the minimum changes in a code adds support given 
parameter.

This parameter doesn't demand  UTF8 to UTF16 encoding. But encoding validate utf8 
line, therefore I hadn't touch it for BC.

Fragment from rfc4627 ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt )
"All Unicode characters may be placed within the
   quotation marks EXCEPT for the characters that MUST BE escaped:
   quotation mark, reverse solidus, and the control characters (U+0000
   through U+001F).

   Any character MAY BE escaped."
