JSON.Net - Change $type field to another name?

Question

When using Json.Net, I understand how to get the $type property into the rendered json, but is there a way to change that field name? I need to use "__type" instead of "$type".

"I would rather keep $type hard coded and consistent."

Consistent with what I wonder?

I would rather not - I think this is too specific to me and I don't want to go overboard with settings. At some point I will probably implement this - http://json.codeplex.com/workitem/21856 - allowing people to read/write there own meta properties in the JSON and you could reimplement type name handling with a new property name. The other option is just to modify the source code for yourself to have that property name.

And more recently, Issue #36: Customizable $type property name feature:

I'd rather not

This is my solution...

json.Replace(""$type": "", ""type": "");
