Compatibility mode for str8

[onderweg]

With my deserializer, I ran in to the issue described here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19466343/msgpack-packing-of-string-values-longer-than-32-characters-in-python

Summary: my deserializer can't handle the str8 datatype.

Is it possible to support compatibility mode for encoding, as described in the MessagePack specs?

serializers should offer "compatibility mode" which doesn't use bin format family and str 8 format

Thanks!

I have no time to add features to this library, but yes, it would be nice. If you or anyone else would like to send a PR, I'd be happy to review and merge.
