In Python 2.6 it wasn't internal to iterencode; in Python 2.7 and 3.x
you probably would have to monkey-patch iterencode. (In addition, patching
floatstr alone wouldn't be enough in 3.x and probably 2.7, since you also
have to make sure that the C-extension is not used here.)

BUT: Keep in mind that monkey-patches are problematic, and should be
avoided (or used very carefully) in production code. So, better
replace the complete encoder.py or use your own patched version
of the complete json-module.
