Define `Struct()` as the struct type for `<:Exception`? #71

Closed ericphanson closed 2 years ago

ericphanson commented 2 years ago

i.e.

StructTypes.StructType(::Type{<:Exception}) = StructTypes.Struct()

I think that's usually the case? (I'm trying to log exceptions as JSON). (This could be superceded by #61, but if we don't go for that, it might still make sense for exceptions).

I was able to accomplish this with

StructTypes.StructType(::Type{E}) where {E <: Exception} = StructTypes.Struct()
