Support non-ROS specific message publishing in ros 2

Does ros 2 support publishing non-ROS specific messages like OpenCV cv::Mat or pcl::PointCloud2 directly using a ros 2 publisher? Can it be done via the same way it is achieved in ROS 1 ?

I believe what you're talking about is what we refer to as type masquerading which is on the Roadmap for ROS2 but not currently implemented.
