Am I the only one wondering what's the use of this module? It seems to just add a string and a pair of parentheses around the response. Can't you do that on the backend, assuming you have some sort of backend? Or on the client side, if the response is to be parsed by some client-side javascript?

I don't mean to belittle your effort, I'm just curious!
