add `traverse_by_key` and `{get,set}_by_key` methods and refactor several things #160

Closed jordens closed 11 months ago

jordens commented 11 months ago

remove the SerDe<Style> trait in favor of explicit and flexible individual traits
add closure-based traversal of the namespaces either by index or by name.
make ser/de generic over the type of key iterator. supported currently are indices and names.
make the traversal generally more powerful indicating where Errors or Ok originated
remove the separator from metadata, add helper method to account for it.

close #155

These are some very intriguing changes that make miniconf way more flexible. I'm very interested to see. Is the intent with the key refactor to allow arbitrary path/separator syntaxes to be used without affecting the fundamental operation of miniconf?

Anything that can be turned into a usize (with the help of Miniconf) will be able to implement Key and thus work. I.e. pretty much any perfect hash.
