[Request] Strip excessive whitespace when exporting JSON with --output-format={bash|cmd}

[Reino17]

Linux:

$ xidel -s '{"a":1,"b":"x y z","c":null}' -e '$json' --output-format=bash
result='{"a": 1, "b": "x y z", "c": null}'

Windows:

xidel -s "{'a':1,'b':'x y z','c':null}" -e "$json" --output-format=cmd
SET result={^"a^": 1^, ^"b^": ^"x y z^"^, ^"c^": null}

It's almost as if the JSON input is serialized with serialize-json() as opposed to serialize():

xidel -s '{"a":1,"b":"x y z","c":null}' -e 'serialize-json($json)'
{"a": 1, "b": "x y z", "c": null}

xidel -s '{"a":1,"b":"x y z","c":null}' -e 'serialize($json,{"method":"json"})'
{"a":1,"b":"x y z","c":null}

(isn't serialize-json() unnecessary/superfluous now?)

Probably less a concern on Linux, but Windows cmd its commandline buffer is only 8KB. So cmd variables can only hold a max of 8192 characters.
With that in mind can you please strip excessive whitespace, like serialize() does, when exporting JSON with --output-format={bash|cmd}, Benito?

One month later. Can you at least share your opinion on the matter?

yes

One month later.

Already? It feels like yesterday

Can you at least share your opinion on the matter?
