Saving UTF-8 texts with json.dumps as UTF-8, not as a \u escape sequence

Sample code (in a REPL):

import json
json_string = json.dumps("ברי צקלה")
print(json_string)

Output:

"\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9 \u05e6\u05e7\u05dc\u05d4"

The problem: it's not human readable. My (smart) users want to verify or even edit text files with JSON dumps (and I’d rather not use XML).

Is there a way to serialize objects into UTF-8 JSON strings (instead of \uXXXX)?
