:javascript-specific escaping?

[Yang Zhang]

Is there any way to always have interpolations in :&javascript
sections always use a JS-friendly JSON escaping?

I.e., instead of:

:!javascript
foo = #{safeJS(toJSON("foo"))}; // must remember to wrap everything
bar = #{"bar"}; // whoops!
scr = #{"</script>"}; // whoops!

can we do:

:&javascript
foo = #{"foo"};
bar = #{"bar"};
scr = #{"</script>"};

to get:

<script>
foo = "foo";
bar = "bar";
scr = "<\/script>";
</script>

instead of:

<script>
foo = &quot;foo&quot;;
bar = &quot;bar&quot;;
scr = &quot;&lt;/script&gt;&quot;;
</script>

*Bump* Is this possible?

You mean something like this?
https://github.com/scalate/scalate/blob/master/samples/scalate-sample/src/main/webapp/jade/jsFilter.jade

It generates

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[

foo = "foo";
bar = "bar;

//]]>
</script>

Doesn't that also do HTML escaping? That doesn't work for JS
substitutions because then you get the latter output in my original
post instead of the former.
