Comment (by tomauger):

 I'm liking this fix, but actually agree with adam that it might be good to
 have an entirely new way of passing object dependencies into  our JS.
 Right now I'm using a lot of JSDoc to document the "localize" global JS
 var, but it certainly would be nice to have something a little more
 robust.

 Forking wp_localize_script() to wp_pass_vars_to_script() (for lack of a
 better name) seems like a pretty good (and backward-compatible) way to go.
