When using Ruby on Rails I'm running into "NoMemoryError: Too deeply nested." with OJ's serialization within this gem. The suggested solution worked if I edited the OJ 'mode' to 'compat' and added the 'use_as_json' flag as follows:

    OJ_OPTIONS = {
      mode: :compat,
      # use ruby's built-in serialization.  If nil, OJ seems to default to ~15 decimal places of precision
      float_precision: 0,
      use_as_json: true
    }.freeze

The fact that no one else runs into this makes me wonder if maybe there is something about Rails specifically that is causing this though haven't tracked it down. If it's possible to modify these OJ options for everyone and tests still pass it could be suggested as a solution.

I'm happy to offer a PR if it would be accepted.
