Double quote escaping with Javascript function

JSON.stringify escapes double quotes. Is there an input such that the following code (without modification) does not result in the escape of the double quotes?

<script>
function test(s) {
document.write(JSON.stringify(s));
}
</script>


  <form action="" method="post" onsubmit="test(this.cmd.value); return false;">
  <input class="command" type="text" id="cmdbox" name="cmd" />
  </form>

Example input/output:

"test"

Expected:

"test"

Actual:

\"test\"

Use to unescape the escaped string to get the expected result.

unescape(JSON.stringify(data))
