Any chance of adding hooks to support extension types? 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
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/msgpack-python#packing-unpacking-of-custom-data-type
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/msgpack-python#extended-types
