serde support

[zkat]

There should be built-in support for Serialize/Deserialize in this crate.

Hi Kat!

I've never before implemented serde support for a language, but I'd love to take a stab at that here! Would that be amenable to you?

[zkat]

Oh! I should have put a note here. @Lucretiel is already working on a serde-based parser that I expect will replace this one

[berwyn]

Ah, sounds good! I'll keep an eye out for that!

[Lucretiel]

WIP serde implementation is here: https://github.com/lucretiel/kaydle. It's coming along, slowly but surely. It's challenging because serde is very much a structured object / array format, whereas KDL is node-oriented, so I have an opinionated mapping from one to the other. Contributions are welcome, thought there's a lot about my design intent that I haven't written up in the comments yet, so until it hits 1.0 I may be pretty conservative in what I accept if it diverges from that. I work on it (at least) every Sunday at 7pm EST on twitch and I'd be happy to talk at a high level about my design for anyone attending.

@Lucretiel FYI your twitch link is broken.

[Lucretiel]

Fixed, thank you

[zkat]

This is now out of scope for kdl-rs. It's going to be a document-oriented parser.

[pipelight]

So what should we use for serde support?

[zkat]

@pipelight I guess I should've reopened this one instead, but for reference, serde is back in scope and it would be good to have it working with the kdl v2 release.

Ref: #71

For now, there are no implementations that include serde support directly: you can try using knuffel

Thank you! This crate was nowhere to be found!!
