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.
