Personally I would just use the value transformer approach. It's easy,
obvious, and discoverable. Any other solution I can think up with
would be lacking in at least one of these. I actually find value
transformers to be super helpful when working with bindings. I've used
one for an empty string (that trims newlines and whitespace before
checking length), for an empty array, and probably some more.
