Allow strings for *indent* in addition to integers.
.. note::
Since the default item separator is ``', '``, the output might include
trailing whitespace when *indent* is specified. You can use
``separators=(',', ': ')`` to avoid this.
If *separators* is an ``(item_separator, dict_separator)`` tuple, then it
will be used instead of the default ``(', ', ': ')`` separators. ``(',',
':')`` is the most compact JSON representation.

Since the default item separator is ``', '``, the output might include

If specified, *separators* should be an ``(item_separator, key_separator)``
tuple. The default is ``(', ', ': ')``. To get the most compact JSON
representation, you should specify ``(',', ':')`` to eliminate whitespace.
