--------------------------------+-----------------------------
 This is an update of Services_JSON used both for compatibility for pre-
 PHP-5.2, and also for hosts that have explicitly (and sickeningly)
 disabled json_encode() / json_decode().

 Current version included in WordPress is 1.0.1. This updates to version
 1.0.3 from upstream.

 There's only one single non-upstream change that is included here, and
 it's a simple include guard, see #11827.

 The following bugs were addressed with this update:

 1. http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16908 - When locale was set, and it
 changed the way numbers are formated, the output for floats was broken.
 2. http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17515 - Handle mbstring overloading
 of strlen().
 3. http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17921 - Long strings cause problems
 for parser.

 One last note here...

 The only other non-upstream changes made to the library within WP core
 previously were just whitespace changes. In the future, it would be nice
 to know that whitespace changes should *not* touch 3rd party libraries
 since 1) they will always have their own coding guidelines, and 2) it
 makes it difficult to see actual upstream and non-upstream changes between
 WP core updates.
