Serde Command Opts

A crate for serializing command line options (structopt in reverse).

Why?

When you are building a Rust wrapper for an existing, complex, CLI application it often makes sense to support typed arguments as structures.

serde-command-opts enables developers to easily convert a structure representation of command line options into a string vector ready for passing to a child process.

Documentation

For examples take a look at the simple test cases listed in this repository. The API and its ergonomics are based off and inspired by Serde so it should be a direct drop in.
