Proposed module for defining to_json on Chef objects

gistfile1.rb

module Chef::JSONable
  # Serialize this object as a hash
  def to_json(*a)
    Chef::JSONCompat.to_json(for_json, *a)
  end
  
  def for_json
    raise "You must define `for_json` in your JSONable class"
    # Alternatively, return self?
  end
end
