> I'm using avro reflection for some serialization that doesn't require the best performance for some short-lived data. 
> However, the object I'm trying to serialize uses a {{Map}} with non-String keys (the key class is {{Integer}}) and, because of the strict restriction on Map keys being Strings, it fails. 
> Could we consider allowing Map keys to be *{{Stringable}}* classes (I'm thinking of something similar to Doug's solution in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1146)
