sort keys with JSON.stringify()

[Brian Kardell]

I think depth shouldn't be the problem.  At the crux of is is that that
technique uses iteration order which has a bit of a defacto standard that
would "guarantee" that certain classes of object would serialize objects
with the same data in the same way.  It has problems on the fringes
though...if your data contains numeric keys or prototypes, for example.  I
say guarantee in quotes because sometimes a browser picks one of these
things that isn't written up and bucks tradition... Sometimes they are
punished because too much breaks, but sometimes not.
