Description
Any chance of adding hooks to support [extension types](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#types-extension-type)? This would basically require an API where callers could specify two callback functions one for encoding and one for decoding. Then `mp_encode_lua_type` and `mp_decode_to_lua_type` would call these functions to produce the actual values to be used when serializing.
Examples of two different ways this can be done for msgpack-python are below
