pb.hook cannot handle native types

[git-torrent]

I am trying to hook bytes type to encode it into base64.

While I can hook other types, hooking native types gives me unknown type error.

I tried to recursively traverse the luatable proto representation and fix all the fields of type bytes ( by using pb.field() ), but this is tedious. Moreover, pb.hook() seems to be made exactly for this purpose.

Thanks

Sorry for the missing of this feature, but it seems difficult for current implementation. Pull requests are welcome, and I will look into this to find out how to make it up 😑

Too bad, I cannot fix this on my own (it requires lot of C-coding). To give some points: having hooks for any type would allow to implement proper JSON mapping as specified in https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#json

Thank you
