agreed -- at least the simple part. The only API detail I"ve seen is
whether to make json.load() take a "path-like or file-like" object, or to
have separate functions. And I think the consensus is to have separate
functions. And to name them ``loadf()`` and ``savef``.

The other potential API issue is whether to support arbitrary encdoings --
but I think the consensus there is also no.

So yes -- pretty simple.

not me -- I'm having enough trouble finding time to srite the inf/nan PEP.
But I think the OP offered to do so.

And if it does, the core devs can tell us then.
