This is still a bit of a draft, but here's a working proposal for type handlers that allow user extension of the parser. Some work would still need to be done for serialization. Let me know what you think.
Also, here is a sample program demonstrating how these type handlers can be implemented by the user. As the example shows, this gives the user the option of either going the more dynamic route with a generalized hash table handler, or the code generation route, generating specific handlers for each table type.
