Subject: [PATCH] $.parseJSON should return `any` instead of `Object`

Here is my test:
```js
var i = JSON.parse('1');
var a = JSON.parse('[1]');
var o = JSON.parse('{"foo":"bar"}');
var s = JSON.parse('"string"');
var n = JSON.parse('null');

i instanceof Object; // false
a instanceof Object; // true
o instanceof Object; // true
s instanceof Object; // false
n instanceof Object; // false
```

JSON.parse returns the `any` type so I think this method should do the same.
