[request] as_dict method

[kiflowb777]

Have you considered adding a method .as_dict() that creates a dictionary from a dataclass object.

Example code:

from dataclasses import dataclass
import dacite

@dataclass
class User:
    name: str
    age: int
    is_active: bool

user_dict = {
    'name': 'John',
    'age': 30,
    'is_active': True,
}

user = User(name='John', age=30, is_active=True)
another_user_dict = dacite.as_dict(data_class_object=user)

assert user_dict == another_user_dict

It is built into dataclasses already, if I am not misunderstanding you: https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html#dataclasses.asdict

@gunnarx your answer is correct. This feature is out of scope of this library.
