Using Database.__setitem__ with JSON string bug

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Why would it accept JSON strings? Do you have an actual use case for that?

Hmm. Totally can't remember the use case I had when working on this, but I would
totally expect it to accept JSON strings. I mean, Database.create() accepts 
JSON, why
wouldn't Database.__setitem__?

Hmm, that Database.create() accepts a JSON string is merely a coincidence, 
definitely not by design :P

Seems to me that you should be able to cast / create anything as a string...

I don't think this is a good idea. Python is a strongly typed language, and 
this library shouldn't be taking a string 
and implicitly decoding it to a dict behind the scenes.
