Is It possible to add different Object type into ReflectedYamlDump?

See original GitHub issue

I’m using a library that allows me to manage yaml and json files and in that case;

"test-scalar-type": "test-scalar-type"
"test-section":
  "test-section-scalar-type": "test-scalar-type"

“test-section” is a ConfigurationSection in my library and when I use dump() method. and It gives me StackOverFlow because It must return Map or Scalar stuffs. And I resolve that problem with editing the ReflectYamlDump class like that;

@Override
public YamlNode dump() {
    final YamlNode node;
    if (this.object == null || ReflectedYamlDump.SCALAR_TYPES.contains(this.object.getClass())) {
        node = new ReflectedYamlScalar(this.object);
    } else if (this.object instanceof Collection || this.object.getClass().isArray()) {
        node = new ReflectedYamlScalar(this.object);
    } else if (this.object instanceof ConfigurationSection) {
        node = new ReflectedYamlMapping(((ConfigurationSection) this.object).getValues(false));
    } else {
        node = new ReflectedYamlMapping(this.object);
    }
    return node;
}

It’s really temporary fix. And I want to know that how we can add a custom object into ReflectedYamlDump class without editing the library.
