Feature Request: in dump/safeDump support toJSON API

toJSON documented here for JSON.stringify:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify#toJSON()_behavior

If an object being stringified has a property named toJSON whose value is a function, then the toJSON() method customizes JSON stringification behavior: instead of the object being serialized, the value returned by the toJSON() method when called will be serialized.

If dump and safeDump would support this, js-yaml would be better as a direct replacement for JSON. For example, Immutable provides toJSON. Could be optional, as far as I am concerned, so it’s backwards compatible.

IMHO it’s better to keep things separate. If you know you can normalize object to json, then you can do:

yaml.safeDump(JSON.parse(your_obj.toJSON()))

This should work right now and does not require any changes.

Could you then refer/move new info to existing issue and close this one?
