Comment (by ryanve):

 Another future consideration would be if an `$object_name` is not
 provided, then expose the data to a single global object called wordpress:

 {{{
 window.wordpress = {};
 }}}

 so that `wp_localize_script($handle, false, $object)` would do

 {{{
 $script =  'wordpress["' . $handle . '"] = ' . json_encode($object) . ';';
 }}}

 You'd have to use bracket notation to accomodate stuff like

 {{{
 wordpress["jquery-ui-core"] =  { ... };
 }}}

 Should probably do `sanitize_key($handle)` first to be safe.
