Example: ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"

  All internal Rails JSON encoding is now handled by ActiveSupport::JSON.encode().  Use of #to_json is not recommended, as it may clash with other libraries that overwrite it.  However, you can recover Rails specific functionality
  if you really want to use #to_json.

    gem 'json'
    ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"

    class ActiveRecord::Base
      alias to_json rails_to_json
    end

Introduce Array.wrap(foo) to wrap the argument in an array unless it's already an array. Wraps nil as an empty array. Use instead of Array(foo) and foo.to_a since they treat String as Enumerable.

The use of encryption prevents people from seeing any potentially secret values you've used.  It also supports and encrypt_and_sign model to prevent people from tampering with the bits and creating random junk that gets fed to

A motivated coder could use this to add an :encrypt=>true option to the cookie store.

Add ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier to aid users who need to store tamper-proof messages in cookies etc.

This is particularly useful for things like remember-me tokens in web applications and auto-unsubscribe links in emails.

Added ActiveSupport::BacktraceCleaner and Rails::BacktraceCleaner for cutting down on backtrace noise (inspired by the Thoughtbot Quiet Backtrace plugin) [DHH]

Reduced the number of literal aliases to the range that has actually seen personal use. With the massive savings in overhead, I was able to fit Array#forty_two
