Cool, thanks!

While we're on it: I have a special case (not for default json2lua
mode) where I need luajson to convert JSON string keys that are
numbers (like "1" or "123.456", but not "123a") to numbers in Lua.

Example:

{ "key": "value", "1": "one", "20": "twenty" }

Becomes:

{ ["key"] = "value", [1] = "one", [20] = "twenty" }

Is this possible?

Alexander.
