Add Json.Encode.dict

[avh4]

There is a JSON decoder for Dict, but currently there is no corresponding encoder.

module Json.Encode where

dict : (v -> Value) -> Dict String v -> Value
-- or
dict : Dict String Value -> Value

How do you get around this atm?
Do you have to convert all ducts to lists?

Add it to https://github.com/elm-community/json-extra?

Or even just open this feature request as an issue there (in line with https://github.com/elm-lang/core/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-new-functions)?

That package has a maintainer (https://github.com/elm-community/Manifesto/blob/master/maintainers.md).

Also, there's http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/bartavelle/json-helpers/1.1.1/Json-Helpers#jsonEncDict, which may or may not be what you all want.

i'd like to add a Json.Encode.Extra to elm-community/json-extra, and dict is a great fit for such a module

With feature suggestions like this, I think the best route is to (1) tell folks about *-extra packages and (2) close the issue and add it to something like #322. That's what makes sense in this case at least.
