Review comment:
       Oh..wait!!
   
   I just realized that we should actually compare `schemaFor` and 
`serializerForType`(rather than `serializerFor`).  `serializerForType` will 
call `dataTypeFor` first.  `dataTypeFor` actually supports `NullType`, 
`CalendarInterval`, `Decimal` as well.
   
   The reason `ExpressionEncoder` doesn't support `NullType` is, before 
`ExpressionEncoder` calls `serializerForType`, it calls 
`mirror.runtimeClass(tpe)` first:

   and `null` (without explicit data type) can fail at 
`mirror.runtimeClass(tpe)`:
