custom collection handler

[romankonz]

Hi,

i like to use a class that extends the doctrine array collection as collection type.
I copied the code of the ArrayCollectionHandler and changed only 2 things:

// my collection class
class MyCollection extends ArrayCollection
{
    // custom code here
}

class CustomCollectionHandler
{
     // ...
    public static function getSubscribingMethods()
    {
        // ...
        $collectionTypes = [MyCollection::class];
        // ...
    }
    // ...
     public function deserializeCollection(VisitorInterface $visitor, $data, array $type, Context $context)
     {
        $collectionType = $type['name'];
        // ...
        return new $collectionType($visitor->visitArray($data, $type, $context));
    }
}

Now i can register my own collection classes with this handler.
Maybe it would be useful to add something like this as a generic configurable solution?
