At NoRedInk, if we are passing complex data through a port, we generally
pass it as `Json.Value`, and then use a JSON decoder in Elm to transform it
into the appropriate type. That way, you can write a decoder to handle
missing fields in whatever way you'd like.

Hi,
When you send record with Maybe fields to a port - Nothing values are
converted to nulls.
When you send json with null properties to firebase - firebase removes such
properties (by design)
When you try to receive record from port - how to force Elm to interpret
missing fields as Nothing?
