derive that forwards From/ToBytes to specific encoding

I agree, I think the second option is preferred, we would just need to make sure that only one encoding type is specified.

Thanks for picking this up - let me know if you run into any issues!

Good idea! This would definitely reduce the amount of boilerplate when only one encoding is ever used for a type.

I'd be up to look into implementing this, what would be your preferred API:

// require serde::{Serialize, DeserializeOwned}
#[derive(FromJson, ToJson)]
#[derive(FromMsgpack, ToMsgpack)]
// prost::Message
#[derive(FromProst, ToProst)]
// require bytemuck::Pod
#[derive(FromRaw, ToRaw)]

or

#[derive(FromBytes, ToBytes}
// require serde::{Serialize, DeserializeOwned}
#[encoding(Json)]
#[encoding(Msgpack)]
// prost::Message
#[encoding(Prost)]
// require bytemuck::Pod
#[encoding(Raw)]

I would prefer the latter because I think it would enable us to create something quite flexible.

we could accept any generic tuple struct that implements ToBytes as argument to the encode attribute.
