 * input:
 *
 * 1) The input must be a plain object or array, not an abitrary value.
 * 2) Every value in the graph reached by the algorithm starting with this
 *    object must be one of the following: null, undefined, a string (NOT a
 *    string object!), a boolean, a finite number (i.e. no NaN or Infinity or
 *    -Infinity), a plain object with no accessor properties, or an Array with
 *    no holes.
 *
 * The actual behavior differs from JS_Stringify only in asserting the above and
 * NOT attempting to get the "toJSON" property from things, since that could
 * clearly have side-effects.
