Serde Support about kdl-rs HOT 6 OPEN

Two things:

1. we probably want to look at what the serde xml parsers do here, because children can mean different things and it needs to be configurable
2. We should wait until #70 lands to do this, since that’s going to break a lot of stuff

1. Sounds good, I'll do some research.
2. Sounds good. I may do a POC anyways to get a feel for how to get it done. Worst case, it gets scraped and I use the knowledge to do something better.

That seems fine by me. I expect it to be a bit of a challenge tbh but that might be because I’ve never implemented a serde thing before.

Same, haven't implemented serde before. But, that's the fun! We'll learn how to implement it together!

Another useful reference might be Kaydle: https://github.com/Lucretiel/kaydle, which is the last attempt I know of of someone trying to serdeify kdl, and they did some interesting things, just never finished it (it's a big project, it turns out!)

although part of the reason Kaydle was big was because it wrote its own parser and it was being fancy about it. With kdl-rs you'd only really need to convert the KdlDocument struct through serde.
