No serialisation for byte []

[haf]

Trying to add

        static member inline FromJson (_ : byte []) : Json<byte []> =
                fun x ->
                    try
                        Json.init (Convert.FromBase64String x)
                    with e ->
                        Json.error "bad base64 string"
            =<< Json.getLensPartial (stringPLens ())

Gives

Hmm, interesting, I'll have a look at that.

Ping?

Will work on this in the week and have a resolution for 5.0 one way or another!

Sorry it's been rather busier than I've imagined on this. Now I'm looking at this properly, I'm not totally sure what you're aiming for. Deserializing an array of strings... I'm not sure how inference should know that byte arrays are involved? And how are they? :)

If I add an overload for serialising byte arrays, then I can't serialise strings.

Or let's say this: I want a nice way of serialising byte arrays :).

That makes sense :) I'll have a think about that - there must be a reasonable answer!
