## Summary: This is useful if you want to bind to a type you don't control (or use for other things) but need different serialization than its default. This is a feature gqlgen has and we've found it very useful. For example, in webapp we want to bind `DateTime` to `time.Time`, but its default serialization is not compatible with Python, so currently we have to bind to a wrapper type and cast all over the place, which is exactly the sort of boilerplate genqlient is supposed to avoid. For unmarshaling, the implementation basically just follows the existing support for abstract types; instead of calling our own generated helper, we now call your specified function. This required some refactoring to abstract the handling of custom unmarshalers generally from abstract types specifically, and to wire in not only the unmarshaler-name but also the `generator` (in order to compute the right import alias). For marshaling, I had to implement all that stuff over again; it's mostly parallel to unmarshaling (and I made a few minor changes to unmarshaling to make the two more parallel). Luckily, after #103 I at least only had to do it once, rather than implementing the same functionality for arguments and for input-type fields. It was still quite a bit of code; I didn't try to be quite as completionist about the tests as with unmarshal but still had to add a few.

Breaking changes:
- The
graphql.Clientinterface now acceptsvariables interface{}(containing a JSON-marshalable value) rather thanvariables map[string]interface{}. Clients implementing the interface themselves will need to change the signature; clients who simply callgraphql.NewClientare unaffected. - genqlient's handling of the
omitemptyoption has changed to match that ofencoding/json, from which it had inadvertently differed. In particular, this means struct-typed arguments with# @genqlient(omitempty: true)will no longer be omitted if they are the zero value. (Struct-pointers are still omitted if nil, so addingpointer: truewill typically work fine. It's also now possible to use a custom marshaler to explicitly map zero to null.)
New features:
- The new
bindings.marshalerandbindings.unmarshaleroptions ingenqlient.yamlallow binding to a type without using its standard JSON serialization; see the documentation for details.
Bug fixes:
- The
omitemptyoption now works correctly for struct- and map-typed variables, matchingencoding/json, which is to say it never omits structs, and omits empty maps. (#43) - Generated type-names now abbreviate across multiple components; for example if the path to a type is
(MyOperation, Outer, Outer, Inner, OuterInner), it will again be calledMyOperationOuterInner. (This regressed in a pre-v0.1.0 refactor.) (#109)
