It is intentional. I searched the web for other json 
implementations that do the same thing and came up with this link 
for why:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1580647/json-why-are-forward-slashes-escaped

"Allowing \/ helps when embedding JSON in a <script> tag, which 
doesn't allow </ inside strings, like Seb points out."



There's no way to disable it in D's std.json, but you don't have 
to either - it is perfectly correct according to the standard.
