Feature Request: Default decimal_as_float = TRUE #77

Description

Feature Idea

I think read_datasetjson() should have the argument decimal_as_float = TRUE as the default.

Relevant Input

I don't fully understand what is happening under the hood and It is definitely user error for me, but I call read and write functions pretty often. I always forget to set decimal_as_float = TRUE and it throws me off when numeric variables like VISITNUM that were 1.3 are now 1.300000000. I don't realize what is happening until I start whining about it and then I realize I am just an idiot.

Anyways, thinking that must folks reading and writing out json will want this feature to be always turned on.

WDYT?
