Comment(by tschaub):

 This will make a really great addition.  In reviewing, I've caught a few
 things and added tests.  There is still one failing test.  Here's what
 I've done so far:

  * removed trailing commas to get it to load in IE
  * added semicolons where appropriate (improves things with our limited
 compressor)
  * updated example to allow users to change CQL and see results
  * added CQL.js format to OpenLayers.js loader
  * added docs
  * made it so comparison filters are written with quoted strings only
 (numbers were quoted as well)
  * added write support for WITHIN, INTERSECTS, CONTAINS
  * replaced use of bracket notation with {{{charAt}}} for strings (the
 former doesn't work in IE and was causing infinite recursion)
  * made infinite recursion less likely in the balanced parentheses matcher
 for geometries
  * made it possible to use spatial filters in a logical filter - this
 required adding SPATIAL before PROPERTY to the list of follows for LOGICAL
 (tests pass, but this needs confirmation as the right thing to do)
  * made it so spatial filters store geometries instead of features
