[BUG] Ti.App.fireEvent() expects a string as the second arg on iPhone, and an object on Android
Using fireEvent() to send messages to a web view which is listening to the events. The events weren't being delivered on iPhone until I manually JSON.stringify()ed the second arg.
Edit: actually, even if I pass a string in to fireEvent(), the event listener only receives a single arg of the form {type: "theEventName"}. So am I right that passing data to a web view is just not possible on the iPhone at the moment apart from with evalJS hacks?

I dove into the titanium_mobile source code and figured it out. The problem is that function attributes are not stripped from the object before they are jsonified, so if the object has any prototype-inherited methods, invalid json is generated.

When I asked marshall_law on IRC where I should file bugs, he told me to file them here.
