Alas, no. I did something similar earlier this evening. If you replace 
the escaped sequences before running it through jsonToArray, the 
function throws [an error and gives] up. If you run jsonToArray first, 
there are no escapes to process, they are all converted to garbage by then.

But Monte has a fix in the pipes. I think he's been lurking here and 
fixing bugs before I can report them. He just wants us to think he's 
psychic.

I beat him to the bug in jsonImport though.
