Simply override encode/decode behavior around a builtin #766

Open clintval opened 2 weeks ago

Description

I'd like to encode None as the string "." and decode it back to None.

All other behavior of this library is extremely desirable and functional, but I cannot figure how to implement custom enc/dec callbacks for already defined builtin-types. Any advice or intentions to support this feature?
