Currently all instances in the text-format is specified as structs. This is the best solution in most cases but for example vec3:s etc is really cumbersome.
Today that would be:
{ "x" : 1, "y" : 2, "z" : 3 }
Try that with a mat4x4 and you will just give up ;)
By adding support for parsing structs from arrays one can get a lot nicer.
This should be possible by just adding the rules
if an array is encountered where a struct is expected the array will be parsed as if the members where in order in the array and all members need to be set.

[ 1, 2, 3 ] or mat4x4 [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ]
