I guess we won't see any std.serialization then. It cannot fully support ranges
until the backend does, in this case std.xml.
Why not?
As far as I understand the problem, current std.xml implementation does not
allow to implement lazy range-based archiver in terms of Phobos.
Not however, that I have not delayed voting until std.serialization gets full
support of ranges - only until its API gets support for ranges such that
implementation can be later added in a non-breaking way, for example, with new
archivers.
There is some small discussion on this topic. Unfortunately I had not take the
time to study source deep enough to state what reasonable requirements can be
here (ones that won't require Jacob to re-implelement half of the package) but I
am definitely going to.
Sounds reasonable. Thanks for following up on this.
