Description
For arrayOk attributes like marker.size, using I() doesn't always do what you want because I() has dual meaning -- it says prevent mapping and also make sure it converts to JSON as an array.
For example,
plot_ly(x = 1:40, y = 1:40, size = I(30))
Perhaps we could export a function, like i() or something, that prevents mappings, but doesn't add the "AsIs" class.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the plot_ly example with arrayOk attributes such as marker.size, then trace how I() prevents mappings and adds the AsIs class. The change is complete when an exported alternative prevents mapping without adding AsIs, while I() retains its existing dual behavior.
