[community-group] Specification / recommendation for custom types (#223)

lukasoppermann has just created a new issue for https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group:

== Specification / recommendation for custom types ==
Currently the specs only cover a fairly small amount of possible token types. This makes total sense considering how the specification process works.

However from a user and tool developer perspective I very often run into situations where I have to move beyond what is specified. 

One typical case is when tokens for types that are not defined are needed.

I think it would be valuable for this case to define how one should create custom types.

The main issue I see is how to create a custom `$type` property name? 

Additionally it would be interesting when it is recommended to use composite types, vs. e.g. an array for multiple numeric values.
