I spent some minutes now trying to encode a Decimal as a JSON "Number" using

for Python encoders just allows a method ("default") that have to return
a "known" object type - and if it returns a string, it is included with
quotes
in the final output - which defeats writting numbers.
I still need some persuasion that this is not the right behaviour as it
stands. I get what you want -- "this string of digits is the
representation I want to use, please don't put quotes around it" -- but
I can't help but feel that it will only encourage more unrealistic
expectations.
