Type-specific rendering

[christopher-dG]

Is there currently a way to specify how we'd like Mustache to render a certain type? From a quick look at the code it seems like the method being called is print(io, val). Could Mustache have its own to_string(x)::String function to be overridden perhaps, then replace the existing print with print(io, to_string(val))?

I don’t see why not. Did you want to try a PR to see if there are issues?

That's a valid point. I would use render(io, object) for the naming with Mustache.render(io, object) defaulting to print.
