Comment (by nerrad):

 I'd like to recommend this trac ticket get closed.  `wp_add_inline_script`
 should be used for passing data to javascript and preserving type.
 `wp_localize_scripts` should only be used for its original intent
 (''localizing'' scripts) which was abused over the years for passing other
 data because at the time there was nothing more useful (now there is).
