+Rollbacks monkeypatching of `json.encoder` by benedict.
+
+It monkeypatches json to use Python-based encoder instead of C-based
+during import.
+
+We rollback that monkeypatch by keeping reference to that C-based
+encoder and reinstate them after importing benedict.
+See: https://github.com/iterative/dvc/issues/6423
