I"m pretty sure this came up recently, and was pretty much rejected.

Another option would be to have json.dump take a file-like-object or a
path-like object -- there's plenty of code out there that does that.

hmm.. maybe that was the version that was rejected.

But I like the idea either way. it always seemed cumbersome to me to write
the whole context manager in these kinds of cases.
