Higher level objects

[z64]

Hi there! Thanks for the great little library.

I wrote a small shard that adds a mixin to the JWT namespace that makes it easy to extend existing classes and structs with the optional JWT claims and serialize them with #encode

encoded = session.encode("secret", "none") do
  issued_at Time.now
  issuer "z64"
  audience ["GitHub", "snapcase"]
end

See the full example and implementation here: https://github.com/y32/jwt_obj

This abstracts away the optional claim "codes" of "ext", "iss", etc. into a more expressive DSL, additionally letting users use Time for applicable fields instead of writing their own epoch conversion.

It is currently built to fit our use case, but I'd be happy to PR it and make adjustments if it would complement this shard. If this shard is meant to strictly be a implementation of JWT, that's cool too 👍
