problem: can we have Serde?
solution: we have Serde at home
This by itself is just a change of notation, that could be quickly
merged to avoid messy merge conflicts, but upcoming changes are planned:
- keysets no longer need to be defined in one single file. `keysets.h` is
just the initial automatic conversion of the previous `keysets.lua`.
keysets just used in a single api/{scope}.h can be moved to that file, later on.
- Typed dicts will have more specific types than Object. this will
enable most of the existing manual typechecking boilerplate to be eliminated.
We will need some annotation for missing value, i e a boolean will
need to be represented as a TriState (none/false/true) in some cases.
- Eventually: optional parameters in form of a `Dict opts` final
parameter will get added in some form to metadata. this will require
a discussion/desicion about type forward compatibility.
Allow Include What You Use to remove unnecessary includes and only
include what is necessary. This helps with reducing compilation times
and makes it easier to visualise which dependencies are actually
required.
Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/549, but doesn't close
it since this only works fully for .c files and not headers.
