IDataReader type converter

[riezebosch]

I created this extension on YamlDotNet: https://github.com/riezebosch/YamlDotNetDataReader/. Maybe it is something you want to include in the main library or publish it as an official companion library? The only (new) dependency is on Microsoft.Data.SqlClient which you may already have since I saw some checks on DBNull already?

We currently have no dependencies in yamldotnet and it’s something we’d really like to stay that way. It makes it easier for consumers of the package.

return value?.GetType()?.FullName == "System.DBNull";

okay, it's a weak dependency 😏

I do understand your stance though 👍🏻 But the second question is that it would/could make sense to make it an official companion package using the YamlDotNet reserved prefix 🤷🏻 Or we leave it as and I keep it as my package: https://nuget.org/packages/YamldotNetDataReader/
