For example, if one were adhering to a requested output format that does not include this?

This is a good question. I don't think so currently.

In principle we could use a entry in the `encoding` dict to signal this, i.e., `{'_FillValue': None}`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,195832230
