Idea: Ability to disable automatic encryption/decryption in a block #208
Description
Related to #181, it looks like the main thing needed to be able to build an integration with Console1984 is the ability to disable automatic decryption/encryption within a block. This could have other use cases as well.
ActiveRecord encryption supports two modes: without_encryption and protecting_encrypted_data. The former saves data into the ciphertext unencrypted. The latter prevents writing to an encrypted attribute at all.
We could support both for parity, but even just supporting one of them would be helpful.
Happy to dig into this, but wanted to validate whether this is something you would be willing to support.
