According to [1] keys and strings must be double-quoted.

Grabb.it isn't valid 100% of the time by that measure. But we're just
using Rails' default to_json output, and it evals fine. The nice thing
about json is that parsing idiosyncrasies don't usually turn into data
idiosyncrasies. That said, we should probably get valid. :)
