This is my patch:

[ 1180995 ] binary formats for marshalling floats

Adds 2 new type codes for marshal (binary floats and binary complexes), a 
new marshal version (2), updates MAGIC and fiddles the de-serializing of 
code objects to be less likely to clobber the real reason for failing if
it fails.

+- SF patch #1180995: marshal now uses a binary format by default when
+  serializing floats.
+
 - SF patch #1181301: on platforms that appear to use IEEE 754 floats,
   the routines that promise to produce IEEE 754 binary representations
   of floats now simply copy bytes around.
