replace directive

[infastin]

Adds a replace directive that makes it easier to serialize foreign types.

Example usage with github.com/google/uuid

package main

import "github.com/google/uuid"

//go:generate msgp

//msgp:replace uuid.UUID with:UUID
type UUID [16]byte

// Or like that
//msgp:replace uuid.UUID with:[16]byte

type User struct {
  ID uuid.UUID
}

Also adds any to the list of primitives.

So this will work when the type is a primitive?

LGTM, though.

Please add a suite of tests. Otherwise LGTM.

Should work with any type that msgp can work with.

Please add a suite of tests.

Added some tests.

LGTM (but pls fix tests)

You can bump CI to 1.21 and 1.22 if that help.

Sorry, didn't notice it was go1.18, should be fine now.

Thanks! Giving it a bit of time to see if there are any objects before merge.

@infastin Seems we've picked up a conflict. Could you resolve that, and I'll merge ASAP.

@klauspost Resolved.
