//! Untagged serialization/deserialization support for Either<L, R>.
//!
//! `Either` uses default, externally-tagged representation.
//! However, sometimes it is useful to support several alternative types.
//! For example, we may have a field which is generally Map<String, i32>
//! but in typical cases Vec<String> would suffice, too.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! use either::Either;
//! use std::collections::HashMap;
//!
//! #[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize, Debug)]
//! #[serde(transparent)]
//! struct IntOrString {
//!     #[serde(with = "either::serde_untagged")]
//!     inner: Either<Vec<String>, HashMap<String, i32>>
//! };
//!
//! // serialization
//! let data = IntOrString {
//!     inner: Either::Left(vec!["Hello".to_string()])
//! };
//! // notice: no tags are emitted.
//! assert_eq!(serde_json::to_string(&data)?, r#"["Hello"]"#);
//!
//! // deserialization
//! let data: IntOrString = serde_json::from_str(
//!     r#"{"a": 0, "b": 14}"#
//! )?;
//! println!("found {:?}", data);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
