Improve async and custom type support #18

I loved the type extension idea! But maybe it is very tied to metatables, no? Would be nice to pass some other types to it, like function, thread, etc.

An extension doesn't necessarily need a metatable as long as it implements push value and get value. My thought was to leave these default handlers in here but there's no reason at all that they couldn't all be removed to an extension if you'd like?

Nice, so it's okay. we can leave it that way and maybe migrate some other types later

I was incorrect, it required a small tweak. It already was fine for pushValue but getValue meant adding a new isType handler
