Can you tell me what you are using these helpers for?

It was a compound problem. When returning from json_utils a python datetime becomes aware even if by default in python it's naive. And a python datetime includes microseconds and the Date obj stores milliseconds. This made it so a dumps/loads can't be compared for this type, seems to be only this type.

I was hoping for utilities to help with this. We use a lot of dumps/loads roundtrips for testing.

PYTHON-1111 tracks solving this problem, along with a number of other json_util issues.
