Support for StringBuilder/StringBuffer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make an object with a StringBuilder
2. Convert to JSON

What is the expected output?

I expect a JSON string

What do you see instead?

I see this:

{"value":["S","u","c","c","e","s","s"," ","f","o","r",":", ...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.4 windows

Please provide any additional information below.

You might think it is correct since a StringBuilder is not really a string
under the covers.  But I suggest that most people will want to see a String
in json rather than an array of chars...

Thanks for your consideration.

Chris

Would you want the same behavior for StringBuffer too? Would you want 
deserialization 
of a String to StringBuilder/StringBuffer as well?
