> I am thinking of adding an option to return these type of values as
numbers instead of human readable strings for better ser/de performance, what
do you think about that?
@houqp I think an option for such behavior is a reasonable idea.
One question I have is if dates / timestamps / etc are produced as numbers,
how would the other side know what type to use?
Like if we made JSON like this:
```
{
"name": "foo",
"time": 1234456788
}
```
Is `time` a `Timestamp`? A `Time`? a `u64`? something else?
