Started with the view for showing students who have been assigned to multiple slots. The basics that are in this patch will be used by Mario Ferraro to write the actual view. Patch by: Lennard de Rijk Reviewed by: to-be-reviewed

r"""
Using simplejson from the shell to validate and
pretty-print::
    
    $ echo '{"json":"obj"}' | python -msimplejson
    {
        "json": "obj"
    }
    $ echo '{ 1.2:3.4}' | python -msimplejson
    Expecting property name: line 1 column 2 (char 2)

Note that the JSON produced by this module's default settings
is a subset of YAML, so it may be used as a serializer for that as well.
