WebIDL provides a convenient syntax for the common case for serializers.

It _does_ allow you do define a totally custom serializer, like so:

   serializer;

and then defining its behavior in prose however you want.

But note that the serializer syntax is in flux because it's 
overcomplicated already; see 
<https://github.com/heycam/webidl/issues/188>.  That said, we should 
leave some way of specifying a completely custom serializer, but I see 
no reason it shouldn't just be the declaration of a method named toJSON 
which you then define in prose as usual to return whatever you want to 
return.
