Description

toJSON provides a capability available to any object for controlling its serialization, and a well-known Symbol would extend that capability to include raw output (e.g., JSON.stringify({toJSON(){ return {[Symbol.rawJSON]: longStringOfDigits}; }})).

Alternatively, the mechanism for raw output could be limited to each individual invocation of JSON.stringify or even to each individual invocation of a replacer function, either of which would have the potential benefit of coupling it to specifically-expressed author intent.
