optional map?

[cprovatas]

First, thanks for all the work you are doing to maintain this project. It's definitely the most powerful TS protobuf framework out there! 🙏

Maybe it's a newb question, but is there a way to declare an optional map? I didn't see any kind of wrapper type for that. Any possible alternatives aside from using struct?

Hey @cprovatas , honestly I'm not sure if optional maps are allowed in proto3 or not. Feel free to try it, and report back if it does/does not work.

[cprovatas]

It doesn't convert to optional unfortunately. Perhaps this could be addressed by something like #397 (comment)

[stephenh]

Ah yeah, @cprovatas that #397 should have been closed as fixed, b/c we have useOptionals=all now; you could try that.

nice, thanks!
