Serialization of Pair and Vector{Pair} returns unexpected result #321

Description

@hhaensel

From JSON3 I expected a Pair to be serialized as an Object, but I find:

julia> JSON3.write("message" => "Hello World!")
"{\"message\":\"Hello World!\"}"

julia> JSON.json("message" => "Hello World!")
"{\"first\":\"message\",\"second\":\"Hello World!\"}"

and

julia> JSON3.write(["message" => "Hello World!"])
"[{\"message\":\"Hello World!\"}]"

julia> JSON.json(["message" => "Hello World!"])
"[\"Hello World!\"]"

Is this behaviour by purpose?

I could solve the issue by defining

JSON.lower(p::Pair) = JSON.Object(Symbol(p.first) => p.second)
JSON.lower(::JSON.JSONStyle, pp::AbstractVector{<:Pair}) = JSON.Object(pp)

But I guess such lowering should be done rather in a private JSONStyle then?
