Support for SumEncoding ObjectWithSingleField ?

[Boscop]

Is it possible to decode sum types in such a way that there is no tag field, no content field, to be able to parse sum types from json that are coming from a Rust server* using serde encoding (with default serde settings)?

Here is an example:

    print(PossibleValues::NumberValue(NumberValueRecord { a: 123, b: 42 }));
    print(PossibleValues::StringValue(StringValueRecord { a: 123, b: "asd".to_string() }));
    print(PossibleValues::Empty);

serialized = {"NumberValue":{"a":123,"b":42}}
serialized = {"StringValue":{"a":123,"b":"asd"}}
serialized = "Empty"

There is no tag or content field. I think I need ObjectWithSingleField but nullary constructors shouldn't be { "foo": [] } but "foo" (flattenContentsArray = true), is that combination possible in PureScript with automatic/generic deserialization?

*The API can't be changed anymore on the server-side because many apps and services already depend on it.

I believe not, at least not with simply setting options. But you can use the generic encode and decode as a base for some custom application specific encoding. If you believe your work is useful and meaningful for others too, you might also want to add appropriate options and file a PR.

It should not be too hard to adjust the code to do what you want.
