Add simplejson-compatible parameters #4

In particular:

dumps needs at least:

indent which is a number of spaces to indent
sort_keys - whether to sort dict keys in the output (for predictable serialization)
default - which is a function that gets called on anything that's not normally json-encodable, return value is used as the string value

not sure loads() needs anything.

API compatibility with simplejson would be ideal:

A clarification on indent:

indent=None (the default) means "dont' indent, make JSON the minimum size (i.e. no extra spaces) indent=N, where N is an integer means "use N spaces to indent, with newlines, etc" indent=0 means "no indenting, but still use newlines" (i.e. consistent with N)
