Doctrine type inference for custom types

[TristanPouliquen]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the new inference for Doctrine configuration, and I had a question I didn't find an answer to easily.

Doctrine automatically infers the Column type from the PHP attribute type for default types (eg: int, string, Datetime...).

Is there a way to register new type mappings?

For example, we are using Ramsey\UUID with its Doctrine support, would there be a way to configure Doctrine to register automatically a private Uuid $id column to @Column(type="uuid_binary_ordered_time")?

If there is not, I'd be happy to conribute in this direction, with some guidance as I'm new to all the Parsing system & haven't quite gotten around the code by reading it on my own!

From what I've found in the code, this would mean to be able to inject a custom type mapping inside ClassMetadataInfo::validateAndCompleteTypedFieldMapping.

I'm still looking as to where this class is instantiated, to see to which service I'd need to go up to add configuration in DoctrineBundle.
