// to specify how to print payloads. The function takes the type URL and the
// payload as input, and should return a valid human-readable string on success
// or `absl::nullopt` on failure (in which case it falls back to the default
// approach of printing the raw bytes).
// NOTE: This is an internal API and the design is subject to change in the
